"Although occasions may arise when it is necessary to think more in-depth, apply rationality, or brainstorm about a particular situation, generally the solution will also become clear when it “feels right.” Those that are wild do not second-guess their intuition. They live by it."- Intuition: a crucial part of Re-Wilding

"We greeted some friends in the parking lot, where they stood guard over the few vehicles at the bottom of the trail. Then it was up the steep road carrying deer parts (me) and publications (my friend)." Feral Vision 2006: a report back by Laurel Luddite
Quote:
At these times I felt grateful for our small numbers and the intimacy this allowed, and I wondered to what extent the mountain itself was involved in our interactions. Dzil Nchaa Si An is considered sacred by traditional Apaches, who have suffered from the construction of telescopes on its summit. The mountain is an important figure in their stories of creation, of how they became people and learned to live in that particular place. Now the brute force of science, industry, and religion (the Vatican built one of the telescopes) conflicts with the more subtle forces of land and spirit. It seemed to me that, though our relationship with the mountain was shallow and brief, we may have benefited from the experience. I hope at least that we did no harm.

why the hell did you go to Eugene? That's like suicide for those of the red and black persuasion.
i haven't got a direct quote, but the ALF nutter woman who was basically like:
"Animal testing gave my daughter faulty drugs, and so now she's handicapped which means she can't ride horses!"
cruelty stakes:
testing benefical drugs on animals > selectively breeding animals for a life of toil, captivity and an early death if they fall over

A very good friend of mine was there. Everyone hated me. I had never met a green anarchist before. After a while I just stopped arguing and ran away.
I don't know if this was seen here before. I ran into it some time ago, as a comment on some of the infoshop news thing. I saved it, and was waiting opportunity to use it here. I guess this is the opportunity I was waiting for:
Hi US anarchos,
Some valid points about sectarianism from libcom.org, but listen-
Forget about libcom.org, they don't represent fuck all in the UK. They are an isolated clique who hate most of what is happening in the uk anarchist movement. The Libcom bulletin board is populated with outdated social-democratic forms of ideology. Libcom.org is totally irrelevant in the UK, nobody really knows anything about it other than the people on the boards are intolerant, arrogant idiots.
In a few years most of them will drop the 'libertarian' and just stick with the 'communist' definition. Broadly speaking, most of the forum participants hate the insurrectionist currents, they hate any form of critique of technology or industry. They do not support the ELF or ALF. They are navel-gazing twats who slag off the US scene endlessly, and love taking the piss out of anyone who doesn't conform to their definition of what it means to be an anarchist/libertarian communist.
Fuck libcom
UK anarchist

yeah, but with humanity freed from the fetters of capital we won't have to kill the horses if they fall over, science will have progessed so far mending equine bones will be as simple as farting and there will be so many resources to spare that we can afford to over them a retirement of dignity.
before turning them into glue.

even prisoners?
i gather there's still a law (which is largely forgotten/ignored) in the books for Alberta that says that every prisoner who is set free will be given a gun and a horse.

John I have rocks in my head Zerzan wrote:
Even though civilization means neurosis because it rests upon the forcible ending of Eros and instinctual freedom, Freud opted for work and civilization.Huh?
Because Freud actually thought it was a good thing that we repressed base instincts, that is it is a fundamental part of creating a subjectivity.

"Traditional plant-gatherers often have a prayer they recite before they take anything from the wild. I usually say something along the lines of 'OK, plant. You heal me and I’ll look out for you. I got your back. No one’s gonna build over you, or log you, or pick too much while I’m around.' "- anarcha herbalism: a primer
