Socialism is not mere government ownership; it is not a welfare state; it is not a repressive bureaucracy. Socialism is a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes, and schools. The production of society is used for the b …

Much depends upon your participation. The time has come for us to dismantle the 9/11 myth, and thereby to remove any remaining pretext for the endless global war.  In order to do this, we will need to engage in direct, real-time political action, which will involve street protest, distribution of scientific literature and politically sensitive material, possibly civil disobedience. Until the crimes of 9/11 have been thoroughly investigated as crimes, and the perpetrators brought to justice, huma …

In the early months of 1998 a single individual challenged Secretary of State Madeleine Albright about the Clinton administration's saber rattling with Iraq at a CNN televised "town hall meeting." At the time Clinton was attempting to persuade the American public to support his intentions of bombing Iraq. Albright not only wouldn't answer the question, but she fled the scene once the event was officially over! This public relations fiasco stopped the Clinton White House's plans for war in the …

This is a a group for people who live and work on LI, temporarily or long-term, but who recognize we are in one of the greatest metropolitan areas in the world.

Joy Connection Freedom to be yourself Playfulness New Meaning Unselfconsciousness Insight People come to Deep Dance Light Spirit unsure of what to expect. "Do I need to know how to dance? Is it just a playlist of music that each person dances to? What kind of dancing, what kind of music?" The answers are: No, you don't need to know how to dance at all.  You don't even need to be mobile for that matter. A member came who couldn't dance and she sat and swayed and played the drum.

We are a group of mamas who are tired of the catty, gossipy, drama-filled pettiness that is found in so many groups of women. We decided to create our own group, with the hopes that it would result in genuine, close friendships between mamas who might be different on the outside but are the same on the inside: human beings with feelings and a need for girly companionship. With this ultimate goal in mind we changed our group at the end of 2011 to focus on MNOs (hence, "The MNO Edition"). We learn …

You’ve always wanted to get up and sing in public. But you say, “My voice stinks! I can’t sing! I can’t get up in front of a group and do that!” In Nigeria they say, “If you can talk, you can sing.” Singing in public -- is not about being Sinatra, Streisand, Springsteen, or Stefani. -- is not about “going to Hollywood/Vegas/the next round” so that you can be exploited or disappointed. Singing in public is about letting go and enjoying expressing yourself. SingFree Sessions™ are a path to that gr …

What is the meet up about? The human body is a healing miracle. Given the right foods and tools it can heal itself. This is nothing new. Our ancestors practiced many of the same modalities that we now call "new age". Let's get real, we are just going back the old ways of actually listening to our own bodies rather than listening to someone telling us how we should feel. You know why? Not because it is cheaper, not because the health care industry in dying a slow death and not because it is the n …

Its purpose is to be an agency and network devoted to understanding and optimizing the human experience. Open to fringe geniuses, chaotic intelligences, and post-modern mystics to gather and d …
