 Archaic Future : A Radical Elementa Feminist Manifesto
by Mary
Daly, Helene Atwan (Editor).
Devotees of the visionary
feminist philosopher Mary Daly will be delighted by this call to
action against the "necrotechnologists" of genetic
research and the advances of right-wing religious
fundamentalism. In Pure
Lust (1984), Daly posited the importance of four
elements: words, substances, the cosmos, and spirits.
"Quintessence," as she describes it, is the connecting
fifth element, "the Source of our power to Realize a true
Future." Tapping into Quintessence, she argues, can enable
us to name and confront "the escalating atrocities ...
against women and nature and [summon] Courage and Hope to
transcend [them]." To soften her grim depiction of the
present moment, Daly has cleverly presented this new book as its
own 50th-anniversary edition (2048 in the "biophilic
era"), appearing at a time when women have banded together
and learned how to summon and direct their psychic energies.
They have, in fact, saved the world. Each chapter concludes with
comments by Annie, an ardent young woman of that period, who has
invoked Mary Daly in order to ask her about the bad old days of
the late 20th century, while Daly herself gasps with amazement
at the clean water, fresh air, and sweet-smelling blossoms of
the idyllic future. --Regina Marler...

Hey! Don't get us confused with the American Civil Liberties Union!
We're NOT that group that supports the pornographers, the Nazis, the KKK, the tobacco
industry, and the child pornographers. We're not those guys who wrote a "Friend of
the Court" brief for Jake
Baker! We're NOT those guys fixated on reciting defamatory, whining mantras about
Andrea Dworkin.
Instead, we here at the ACLU (Always Causing Legal Unrest, that is) are concerned that
conservative values such as corporate trademark laws, private property rights and
individual privacy (as opposed to public safety and welfare), severely infringe upon and
limit free expression, and they enjoy more protection (legally, socially and politically)
than women do in the public and private domain. And we're going to push some buttons to
prove it. So, we started a political organization called Pushing Buttons/ACLU and
began cranking out buttons with controversial political slogans. We knew we were asking
for trouble, but still, we couldn't believe it when we got this letter from the ACLU
tryin' to use intimidation and governmental intervention to infringe upon OUR freedom of
speech. Are you ready for this? They claimed they OWN four letters in the alphabet!
Hehehehehe! Talk about promoting conservative values!
So, if you think we don't have any right to use our beloved acronym, or if you are just
in the mood to read something funny click here.

The AAVS is an international organization that works to end
vivisection (the use of animals in biomedical research, dissection, testing and
education). Vivisection actually harms people as well as animals, by wasting time, effort
and money on research of little or no benefit. Non-animal, scientific research,
however, holds great promise for both human and animal ailments. At this site you can
learn more about animal experiments, rights, research, welfare and our organization.
Become more informed about the issues and alternatives, and discover how you can help us
eliminate not only animal experimentation, but all forms of animal abuse.
