John Lujan Pastor ================= Any ideas anyone? rkm ============================================================================ From: Kathy Ehman <•••@••.•••> To: •••@••.••• Subject: another perspective Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 13:29:41 -0800 Dear Richard, Can't do it anymore. Can't sit back without saying something in defense of the media, which you slam at every opportunity, lumping it into one big propaganda machine. I do not work for daily, or large papers. Instead, I choose the small papers that feed community markets. There is a reason for that--it is not that I'm not "good" enough for big papers, or because I don't want to get wealthy. It is because at this level I can, repeat can motivate people, empower them to fight their own fights, to present the human side of how this world affects us. I'm sharing life with them. ---<snip>--- Some of your strongest agents for change are in the media. Like every one on the face of the planet, there are good and bad and indifferent journalists. There are also many who are driven by the same desires as myself. We're sure as hell not in it to get rich or to be revered for our wisdom. It is a committment to a larger picture that is far greater than that. Sincerely, Kathy Ehman Smithers, B.C. ============= Dear Kathy, I'm so sorry that you considered yourself the target of my complaints about 'the media'. You of all people, who in fact seem to be an activist in journalist's clothing. More power to you and keep up the good work. My complaint is about the corporate-owned mass-media _system, a system which forces people of conscience like yourself to work for small dailies when your talents should give you other options - without sacrificing your integrity. I don't even have a grudge against the journalists who have sold out. All of us need to feed our families. I give out against corporate power in general, but I certainly am not saying corporate employees are the problem. The system is the problem. best regards, rkm ============================================================================ Delivered-To: moderator for •••@••.••• Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 12:14:12 +0100 To: TFF PeaceBrowser Nov 28 <•••@••.•••> From: Transnational Foundation TFF <•••@••.•••> Subject: Site seeing & support * TFF's site - broad scope, dynamic and committed to peace. * See why 95% say that TFF's site is "very good" or "I love it" * Rapidly approaching 100.000 visitors, TFF is now a major peacebuilder on the net. * We care about aesthetics, navigation and simplicity.
