As for the reporting of AIM events, while I hold my opinion about the whole
thing, perhaps NEEDS to be relayed to NATIVE-L. The reason being is that any
"media" reports represents various angles in which people can decide for
themselves based on the whole picture (or at least as whole as it can be).
There will not be any concensus anytime soon. While the "facts" have rarely
been a part of responsible reporting, the people need to decide for themselves
based on what is available, instead of the constant "evangelizing" that
supporters for each side has engaged in - both on the net, and in the public.
I personally have enough problems dealing with all the people trying to
"convert" me to the "civilized" religions. I don't need to be "converted"
concerning Bellecourt vs. Churchill. I need to form my own opinion.
I was recently at the Gathering of Nations, where there was lots-o-converting
going on with the LPDC, and the local AIM chapter. It bugged me. I didn't see
anyone from NAIM there, but with 40,000 people, that's not surprising. The
bottom line is that many people (including myself for a while) have forgotten
what's really important.
N'yawah to Gary for his understanding.
