OK some links for you all today.

First up we have this incredably excellent must read article by Larissa MacFarquhar in the New Yorker(via CommonDreams) about Naomi Klein. I’m serious. YOU. MUST. READ. THIS.!!! I’ve admired her work since I first read of her. But I never really knew that much about her. I do now.

And now we have some stuff I managed to get the URLs of while using my old computer week before last. First in this catagory we have some good articles to send to anyone you know who tries to perputrate that myth that everybody was in support of the illegal immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq. Back before the BBC was re-organized they weren’t afraid to print the truth about what some Americans and at least one rather suprising Saudi were saying about the stupitity of such a criminal act.

Opposition to a possible war in Iraq has come from an unlikely source - the US military itself.

Monday, 17 February, 2003
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal has said that any unilateral military action by the US would appear as an “act of aggression”.

And now we have some links from a folder I found in the old machine that was titled “Primative Wilderness Survival”. The links apply to at least one of the three but not neccassarily more then that.

HerbNet which has some information and a lot of links to herb related stuff.

Southwest School of Botanical Medicine which also has a lot of herb and other medicinal plant information. Michael Moore, but not THAT Michael Moore is the director)

Neoanderthal.com has a lot of picture and information about Primitive Skills Gatherings.

Primative Weapons.com sells a wide range of primative weapons such as blowguns, spears, slingshots, atlatls, and more.

Wild Food Adventures is an “Institute for the Study of Edible Wild Plants and Other Foragables.”

Eat Wild.com “is is your source for safe, healthy, natural and nutritious grass-fed beef, lamb, goats, bison, poultry, pork, dairy and other wild edibles.”

Wilderness Survival is a GREAT SOURCE for all kinds of survival information and skills! This incredible site(which I’m VERY HAPPY to have in my favorites again!) has 23 seperate chapters, each of which is broken down further into sections. Just keep clicking the links until you get what you want. I’d highly reccommend printing out some of the pages found here as it really is life saving info! I know I’ll be doing that as soon as I get ink and paper again. Only draw back to the site is that they do have quite a bit of advertizing. But then again the advertizing is for useful survival products so I guess it isn’t all bad.

A had some topo map sites there too but I think that’s enough links for today and if you need some topo maps I’m sure you all can type topo maps into google. :-)

OK I’ll leave you with just one more link from that folder just in case you ever find yourself canoeing in Vermont you may find this handy:
Vermont Paddlers Club is about canoeing and not about corporal punishment!
