Thread for discussing utopian, holistic, naturalistic, etc. politics

siphon it off from the libya thread

We need to get away from short-termist, goal-oriented analyses of success and realize that the bad action here is playing Gaddafi at his own adversarial game. I don't support his actions at all, btw; I support his individual humanity and deplore how he has abused it by seeking despotic power.

thread of Buddhism and energy and stuff

I knew one pure heart who rejected distrust. He was a pacifist and a libertarian and loved all humanity and the animals with an equal love. Well, during the last wars of religion in Europe he had retired to the country. He had written on his threshold: 'Wherever you come from, come in and be welcome.' Who do you think answered that noble invitation? The militia, who entered and made themselves at home, and disembowelled him.

this is however a thread of positivity so let us understand that as an example of naturally-occurring negative energy!
