[Community Rights Network] FOR EVERYONE...TAG LINE QUESTION:

[Peter Norris]

When we say OUR water. We are protecting water in OUR County.  On OUR
planet that WE are here to protect.  I understand what you are saying
Baile.  I think the important thing is to use wording that is
"acceptable/understandable" to the commonwealth.  Once we have the folks at
the table we can also let them know that in truth we all are one.
I have often said that there are really only two things we need to
consider, they are the tribe and the natural world.  Everything else is
illusion. Maya. Glamours.
I will be happy with whatever you all choose.  It's all good.
In Gratitude, Peter

deed develops into habit, And habit hardens into character. So watch the
thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love born out of
concern for all beings.*
