GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE for U.S. CONGRESS from Ithaca: FRED WILCOX,
Associate Professor of Writing at Ithaca College for the past 15 years
says, "Peace doesn't come through war. I have two children in New York
City, and bombing Afghanistan [supported by Maurice Hinchey] has not made
them safer. The only way to end terrorism is not not by war on people, but
justice."
---Wilcox criticized Hinchey for endorsing the so-called U.S. Patriot Act,
which curtails civil liberties. "This was one of the most important laws
perhaps in the history of the country, and Hinchey said he hadn't had time
to read it." Suggesting that if Greens had dominated Congress the Act
would have failed he said, "I have no faith or trust in the Democratic
Party." He also regretted that Hinchey offered "110% support of Israel,"
during the recent destruction of refugee camps.
---Author of "Agent Orange," Wilcox calls for ending the "cancer epidemic
caused by contaminated environments." He says, "many people I knew here
have died young from cancer. Multinational corporations have a license to
poison us. The FDA and EPA don't work."
---Wilcox also supports women's reproductive rights, ending the
prison-industrial complex, closing the School of the Americas, revival of a
national passenger rail system. "I promote not rhetoric or ideology but
what is practical, what benefits the people."

BORDERS at PYRAMID MALL
Borders Lansing has issued employees t-shirts saying "Outsell, Outservice,
Outsurvive-- Ithaca" Former Asst
Merchandizing Manager Deirdra Cross says overworked (15-hr days) injured
workers (broken wrist, crushed hand) were not provided workers'
compensation; some were fired when seeking benefits. She says others are
still waiting for paychecks due, and that some hired part-time are now
required to work full time, without benefits. She says that workers who
take a bathroom break without permission were punished with a four-hour
're-training course.' Here's Borders' union-busting manual
---Cross, speaking as a former bookstore manager and professional rare
book finder, says Borders' market size effectively controls what publishers
decide to publish. When Borders says no to a title, publishers cancel.
Ben Regenspan writes: "At the Ithaca Festival I saw a huge Borders banner on The Commons, placed inappropriately enough just near Autumn Leaves. This reminded me that I have not seen much local action against Borders and that Borders was covered in a blindingly positive manner recently in The Ithaca Times. I just prepared a fact-sheet and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions or anything to add or remove from the sheet. My idea was that I would distribute this in front of Borders, and place leaflets in various locations inside. Does anyone want to help leaflet?"

STOP GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CROPS in New York [email protected]
Legislation to impose a 5-year moratorium on planting genetically
engineered crops in NYS (A.5741/S.3016) & to require labeling of GMO foods
(A.6778/S.3348) is stalled in both houses of the NYS Legislature. To take
action
---"Agricultural genetic engineering is a revolutionary technology. Unlike
traditional crop selection & breeding, genetic engineering circumvents the
boundaries that normally govern genetic recombination. Genes from
unrelated species, even other kingdoms of organisms, can be directly
inserted into a plant's DNA.
---"The potential hazards of such crops are myriad, including: injury or
death of non-target insects & beneficial species that come into contact
with plants engineered to produce their own pesticides; promotionof
pesticide resistance in insects & weeds; toxicity & allergenicity of food
crops as a result of foreign genes being inserted & existing genes
reshuffled during the insertion process; promotion of antibiotic resistance
when resistant bacteria are used in the insertion process; increased
pesticide residues in crops designed to be resistant to herbicides;
decreased biodiversity & stability of our food production system with the
market dominance of a limited number of patentedseeds."

"Jim Houghton's message and Steven Ehrhardt's reply will, (has already)?
excited a great deal of comment [about the Four-Point Traffic Plan]. What
Ehrhardt says reinforces Jim's position. Council should be concerned
primarily with the well-being of Ithaca residents. The transformation of
three quiet streets into links between the Commons and theSouthwest area,
carving away the heart of our place for no better reason than the
encouragement of auto traffic, simply continues the destruction of the
special character of this place.
-----
"How can Council suppose that we
are willing to pay any portion of the costs of such destruction of our
homeland? A trolley-style free shuttle from the parking lots in the
southwest to the Commons would enhance visitors' pleasure, cut traffic and
pollution, and leave the neighborhoods and the mellow spirit of this place
intact." --Marilyn Williams

"You wrote the following editorial: 'The United States Congress kills far
more Americans than terrorists do. 18,000 Americans die yearly because
40,000,000 of us can't afford health insurance. 440,000 Americans are
killed yearly by the tobacco industry, helped by tax breaks. Federal
highways kill/maim thousands of Americans yearly, while railroads lose
funding. The weakening of urban air standards, to suit auto interests,
kills thousands more. Shifting federal funds toward the military-- and away
from clean food & water, and energy alternatives-- is more deadly than
explosions.'
---"My reply: There is no moral equivalence between the decision of the
American people (expressed through their elected representatives) to forgo
universal heath insurance and the murder campaigns conducted by terrorists.
It is indefensible to compare a death that results from a person's
lifelong decision to smoke to the deaths that resulted from the blowing up
of buildings filled with people, or to the beheading of a man on video tape
because he is an "American Jew."
---"If you truly fail to understand the difference between these two
actions, I urge you to capitalize on your community resources - tell some
of your fellow Ithacans who smoke that you sympathize with their suffering,
that you join them in solidarity in their plight against the murderous
tobacco industry and that, while not a smoker yourself, you share their
understanding that a lit cigarette is no less a death trap than a crumbling
110-story building full of innocents.
---"You can follow up this exercise at a federal highway rest stop by
discussing with drivers the tragedy of our nation's dependence on paved
highways, our collective longing to ride railroad cars and the shared
experience of those of us who drive on highways with those who were blasted
out of the sky over Lockerbie. You may also consider sending a letter to
the family of Daniel Pearl to explain that, while their suffering is
justifiable, they should not underestimate the daily suffering you endure
by being forced to inhale the exhaust of SUVs while riding your bicycle to
GreenStar.
---"Your exploitation of the victims of terrorist murders in order to
further your extremist views is despicable." --Regards, Chris Wilcox
---[REPLY] Millions of premature American deaths are caused by dependencies
on HMOs, cigarettes, automobiles and contamined urban air which are
protected by Congressional policy. These deaths, though more private, are
each as tormenting to bereaved families as those of September 11-- and are
more despicable since caused by Americans. National resources are
dedicated, however, to avenging 9/11 and militarizing the economy, rather
than to solving far greater daily mayhem.

"I realized upon receiving your latest Community News that I should have
written something about Bush II war. But below is a copy of letter to
editor to Journal in 1991 re: Bush I War. Although details are different,
it points to principles applicable to this current fiasco.
---"President Bush invoked the theory of "just-war" in defending his
attack upon Iraq, saying that "the first condition of a just war is that
the cause be just" and that his action represented "the noblest of
causes."
---"Without bothering to argue the nobility or 'just-ness' of going
to war over oil, jobs, protecting our "way of life" (culture of conspicuous
consumption), or the restoration of a feudal monarchy, let it be pointed
out that some other conditions of a just war were not mentioned by him and
are not met by involvement of U.S. and allies: complicity, consistency,
proportionality, and self-defense. --Allen Lambert full text

"In response to the article on Ani Difranco's show in Ithaca: First, let me
state that I have a problem with people condemning capitalism when I have
just paid $27.50 to see them play. Second, Ani is an amazing musician and
performer who communicates many ideas to her audience that have little to
no forum, and need to be heard. I am sure she somehow justifies her
beration of capitalism, but the truth is- she is a capitalist. In my
opinion there is nothing wrong with being a responsible capitalist. I just
wish she would ease up on the hypocritical rhetoric." --Sincerely, Ward
Morford

NY school district.

defeated in the elections. We are at a turning point." --Virginia McEwen

"Our love of fresh flowers is hating the earth. Americans demand fresh,
cheap flowers year-round, unaware that floriculture has the highest use of
extremely t oxic chemicals in all of agriculture. These chemicals are used
in the growing fields; poisoning earth, water and w orkers. In addition
there are great vats of chemicals at the shipping stations into which the
flowers are dunked p rior to export to the USA; we don't allow bugs into
our c ountry but we do allow invisible poisons. Sobering news for those of
us who perhaps routinely throw commercially grown flowers into our
"organic" compost piles, or have small children around who occasionally
like to nibble a petal or two.
---"Here's the good news: It's flower season here in Ithaca, and many of us
can pick fresh bouquets from our yards and gardens. The Farmers Market i s
a great place to buy inexpensive and beautiful arrangements. Talk to these
farmers about getting your floral needs met for Spring, Summer and Fall
events. Maybe there are even folks with greenhouses who could provide
potted flowers in the winter with some advance planning.
---"Be aware that local doesn't mean no toxic chemicals-- organic does . Be
willing to accept an occasional blemish or bug-hole and you will have peace
of mind if there are flower nibblers in your house. You may need to be a
little more creative in the off-season. Dried arrangements are beautiful
and , if dusted, last quite a long time.
---Dry your own or choose from the many available at the Farmers Market.
Crave fresh? Many potted plants will bloom in winter with proper care;
bulbs can be forced (although I suspect that the bulb industry has its hand
well into the toxic pie - anyone know a source for organic bulbs?) and when
you really need fresh-cut flowers, try Organic Bouquet 1-888-899-2468. Their flowers are fresh-harvested to order
and shipped overnight--beautiful and a great gift. Keep in mind, though,
that shipping takes its own toll. Keep these for specials." --Sarah

"I just wanted to pass on this thought concerning [Congressional redistricting]. It seems to me the need for redistricting has come about because New York's population has decreased to the point where we are no longer allowed as many representatives as in the past. If this is the case it would seem to make sence that the areas where the population has dwindled are the areas that would lose a rep. or be involved in some sort of change. This certainly is not the case in Ithaca and Tompkins county. We are one of the few areas in New York State that has increased in population." --William Clark
