If there is one lesson I have learned in the past twenty-six years, it is that you can't change a corrupt system from the inside. It would be like making a rotten orange whole again. Change has gotta come from the outside. Like a tv shop: takes the cover off, assess the damage, fix the broken parts and plug it in to see if it works. Keep this up till repair is complete and call the customer to let them know they are ready to go again. - Bo S.

Think we are alone in the universe?
We have company! This stuff is astonishing!

When I was a kid, I was into beatniks, poetry and folk music. But when I heard the name Pete Seeger, I cringed because the media had told me that Mr. Seeger was a communist. I had been taught to hate communists. So, I hated and feared communists. I am 64 and sometime in the last year or so I figured out I had been lied to growing up in the impressionable McCarthy era of the 1950's. Today, I am sorry about all this and glad to have lived to finally see the truth. That's the trouble with brainwashing. It makes people feel guilty for not knowing better. To any of Pete Seeger's friends and relatives, you can be proud of Pete's wonderful living testament to music, spirit and freedom. And, you can swim in the Hudson River. - Bo Sewell

Watched the beautiful and courageous Yoko Lennon IMAGINE over New Year and a friend and I brainstormed the following ideas. Please feel free and encouraged to steal them and make them your own! Tom has some more stuff we'll put up later. Wouldn't it be nice to imagine we live in a free society that is self-correcting and unwilling to go along with murdering people, torture and bombing civilians?

Peace Industries

Make peace profitable and war unprofitable. Make companies that contribute to war known and unpopular. Make Peace companies profitable and popular. You can change the world but only if you commit to coherent action favoring the things you desire. Feeling helpless only fuels the fire and enables the negative. Make the Peace Label meaningful with your buying power to buy or not to buy. Peace tee shirt, memorabilia, artifacts, Somehow we have to set it up so that no one gains by shutting us up. Generalize, spread the idea out so that for the sake of common sense people will support and fall in line with what we are doing, finally being able to see more clearly and make decisions that have positive, lasting effects.

Many folks are in touch with the replacement of nation state governments by multinational corporations. Make Peace Profitable involves marketing strategies that select for spirited innovations like solar heating, space industry, and hydro cars rather than munitions, poisons for people and the machinery of war.

From Tom J:

Peace Industries will be established to provide vital information to consumers about the products they purchase or intend to purchase. Our main goal is to make the consumer aware of all products and manufactures that support war and suffering world wide. With ongoing investigations we will keep the public aware of the businesses that thrive on the death and destruction of human civilizations in any capacity. It is our intent to give every consumer the power to place personal embargos on the seemingly untouchable corporations that feed on human misery, thus allowing people everywhere to change the world with a simple choice, to save millions of people by simply reaching past one product on a shelf and picking up another. Imagine saving people by shopping in you local mall.

Once the public is made aware of the business’s that are supporting human destruction, it is our goal for them to support those business’s that are peaceful in their endeavors, thus creating a market for such peaceful business to grow. These "peaceful businesses" are to be considered allies and we will work closely with them to keep them in compliance of our definition of peaceful businesses. We will also promote them so that they have an opportunity to reap the benefits of not being involved in making money from human misery. Non compliant business’s will be given opportunity to comply with guide lines set up by Peace Industries with the hopes of changing the way commerce is conducted, thus allowing us to take a proactive approach to rehabilitating companies that thrive on human destruction.

We are a nation of individual consumers. With the creation of Peace Industries we can harness huge amounts of potential power that can be apply on a personal level by all that choose to get involved. Suddenly everyone who participates has the personal power to effect change and free people everywhere from exploitation, as well as the power to influence reform of the corporations that prey upon the weak and the poor all over the world. Imagine what we could do together by simply becoming aware of the power of our personal choice.

Family History
Levi Francis Sewell,
Confederate Ancestor and Gentleman - I advise anyone to check out their family history.

Anyone interested in changing the way addicts are subjected to arbitrary negation by laws and insurance companies needs to sign up for this organization. Carol McD. informed me about this group at the Hawaii World Convention and they really do a fantastic job. We learn to help those who are helping us. - Bo S.

coming soon. Members in Raleigh, NC have digitized Greg Pierce files and correspondence made available on cd's. They will do mine and Page's in near future. These allow you to access WSC, WSO and WSB minutes, etc. It helps inform and give accurate understanding of what went on in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Hey, let's shut down world services for nine years and do an inventory! Wait, that's already been done. Oh well.

Stickers are fun and promote the attraction! Send me your suggestions and get free stickers if your idea is used. - Bo

ADDICT: out of the darkness and into the light
52 STORIES OF CLEAN ADDICTS - VERBATIM TRANSCRIPTS WITH FINE ART PHOTOS
by Chris Keeley
Display of ADDICT
Contains newspaper review and other commentaries on this important, one of a kind, breakthrough in writing about clean addicts. While NA is bound by the 12 Traditions, we as members are quite free to share about our recovery and clean addicts we know. If not, we are not free. We don't commercialize recovery, we step beyond boundaries that are only meant to protect the integrity of a spiritual program, not make recovery into a secret cult!

Written at a time when specific events, breakthroughs and details were beginning to fade from my memory, I felt I owed a debt of gratitude to those who wrote the Basic Text. It is their spirit and energy that needs to be respected and known. I am their servant and witness. The members allowed the best in their nature to come forward and take over, if only for a little while. And that is what we must each do on a daily basis for the best of ourselves to come forward, just a little bit at a time, and slowly take over our lives... You will never know the truth until you read this book. It may be the key to the future.

The first little book written about the private perceptions I don't expect others to understand. Of course, a few of them do and I can be grateful for those few. You never know until you try or you never try until you know.

Health Issues
Being clean doesn't exempt us from having health problems. Many IV addicts deveop liver disease.
Several of my friends have died from this but most are alive and doing well - because they got help in time.
LIVER

Another illness that affects me:
APNEA
I had an operation September 11, 2001 and it helps. But the CPAP (constant pressure to air passages) machine, is my life line that helps me sleep! It is the low oxygen levels in our blood and the lack of REM sleep that do us in. - Bo
