formerly Butterbach.Net's Gay section
~I call this section Gay, but that does not mean that Lesbian, bisexual and transgender matters will be totally excluded. As a male myself, I have some difficulties in being a Lesbian, so it has more to do with my first-hand experience...

It is a good idea to start with the history of this section first! You will find it here, together with some explanations and older, but not obsolete comments.

XXII FÓRUM DA LIBERDADEStrange as it may appear to some, but I must believe my server's logfiles, this site, since many years, is much visited from Brazil. This may have to do with Brazilians so often being much more daring than some of the German locals here I am cursed to deal with... ;-) This snotty remark of mine put aside, I extend a big thank you to my friends over there, in particular Margaret Tse, for drawing my attention to the upcoming Brazilian Liberty Forum – 22nd Edition – The Culture of Liberty. 22nd Edition? Yes, when Liberty has been sold out, you have to put a new edition on the market... :-) Have a look at the outstandingly well done Liberty Forum website. That's the English language version. Versão em Português. The portal Terra [at this writing not accessible from here!] will broadcast live all the panels and debates during the two-day Liberty Forum at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, on April 6 and 7, 2009. Pontifical Catholic? Since when is that pontiff for (full) liberty??? Oh well, maybe only in Africa... ;-) At this writing, the Programme on the Liberty Forum website is still only a skeleton, waiting for the flesh, the names of the speakers of the various panels, to be added. I have a Tentative Program though, which you can download in PDF here. Among the many names I recognize the one of Franklin Cudjoe from Ghana [don't miss the article with the many pictures!], who had also attended the ISIL conference at Gummersbach near Cologne in 2005. CU in Porto Alegre! [see the beautiful pictures; some more on the corresponding English page]
Porto Alegre will also ring a bell with people very knowledgeable in the monetary field ("ORECOPA", Organização Econômica Pôrto-Alegrense, cautelas de compra... — but that is half a century ago, before the "Remington Reform", as you can see from the spelling).

The Civilization of Wrong Money and the End of Our Future or the Future of Our End..."Very few economists today seem to be able to read a balance sheet and even fewer understand the aggregate effects of meddling with accounting principles and interest rates. Unfortunately, this also holds for most people in official positions, those with the power to really influence the course of events. To handle the system-wide crisis of banks and major companies they propose many nearly desperate things, like consolidating balance sheets in various ways - mergers, acquisitions, takeovers and nationalization - and cutting interest rates down towards zero." The above heading, though playing on the preceding one by Tom Greco, is my sole responsibility, quickly cooked as it was by me in this CB's notewok: It is not meant as a critique in the form of a parody of Tom's book or of the essay by Richard C. B. Johnsson I took the above quote from. It only expresses my own opinion and my clear aim, as I hope, to make you read both works and reflect on what presently seems to be the most pressing problem of this world. With the work of both of these authors and of the ones they refer to, you will gain knowledge that will place you miles ahead of those funny clowns of either sex steeped in their smiling egos (example Merkel, example Obama, not to forget Sarkozy) who cheerfully push us into the grave while, as a pulled forward funeral meal, feasting their summit parties...

The End of Money and the Future of CivilizationThe above striking heading is the title of a forthcoming book (from Chelsea Green Publishers) by Thomas H. Greco, Jr., about whom, should you not know him yet or well enough, you can find a wealth of information on the following web pages, starting with the more "official" and ending with the more private. Please do visit them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_H._Greco
http://www.Reinventingmoney.com
http://beyondmoney.net
http://tomazgreco.wordpress.com
http://picasaweb.google.com/tomazhg This next book of him is expected to be in print around the middle of April. Here below is a description and detailed table of contents. The End of Money and the Future of Civilization considers the money problem within the broad historical and political context that has made the control of money and banking the primary mechanism for concentrating power and wealth and the nullification of democratic governance. It provides the necessary understanding for entrepreneurs, activists, and civic leaders to implement approaches toward monetary liberation, approaches that empower communities to restore their environments and democratic institutions, and begin to build economies that are sustainable, equitable, and insulated from the financial crises that plague the dominant systems of money, banking and finance. It provides specific design proposals and exchange-system architectures for local, regional, national, and global financial systems, and offers strategies for their implementation prescribing actions that grassroots organizations, businesses, and governments will need to take to achieve success. Those among the individualist readers of my websites and my blogs who will stumble above over words like communities, democratic governance, democratic institutions, governments, should simply replace them with panarchies, governance, non-governance etc., as they like. One thing is sure: that panarchy and panarchism will need what monetary freedom has to offer! John Zube wrote me referring to the author of this book: "On some points I am still in disagreement with him - but full monetary & clearing freedom would embrace all types of it." and "Experimental freedom is what all of us need, in this sphere and, generally, in the political, economic and social spheres, rather than more opinion exchanges and arguments." I for one consider the following table of contents already worth a thousand books. And I hope the book will replace those hundreds of thousands of wrong ones in the field... Please forgive my advance enthusiasm. I have occasionally been called on the carpet for indulging in such enthusiasm by the dryer type. I won't repent! :-) Now then: The End of Money and the Future of Civilization Contents List of Tables and Illustrations

Heath Ledger †The one who has moved us all to the very marrow has tragically passed away. It should and will touch in particular the readers of this blog. And it is an occasion to reread Brokeback Mountain by Jonathan David Morris. For more lines (and a picture link) please go to my main blog "CB's notewok" (permanent links therein: 1, 2, 3).
PS: Good lines by JDM regarding this also in this column and a reference (reverence?) to the film in this column and this one. And a short irreverence (not to the film, mind you, but to a disliker of the film) in this obituary.

Hopped-up You Will Be!When in bed with Santa Claus tonight and rocking well... If you prefer other gifts, follow the advice of Anna Lauwaert in four languages:Soyez quand même décents quand le Bon Saint Nicolas viendra vous apporter des cadeaux cette nuit. Als je de goede Sint Niklaas hoort binnen komen springt gou uit uw bad en trek je kamerjas aan! Non lasciatevi sorprendere in una postura indecente dal Buon San Nicola questa notte! If you like to be 3 in a bath, remember the Good Saint Nicholas is visiting even your home this night...

Click to enlarge [this is no spam message! ;-)] and best wishes to all the Nicks of this world, in particular one, and all the other individuals, children and grown-ups! And don't forget the animals; they need your love too! And water your plants, talk to them, caress them; they need your love too! And stop making that grimace here, some of you "libertarians"! :-)

e eCosa pensare della Gay Pride a Gerusalemme?Io, personalmente, sono contro tutto quello che è grottesco o burlesco. Non mi piace nemmeno la commedia dell'arte. Trovo che le street parade e le gay pride sono degradanti, anzi le trovo un'offesa al buon gusto ed anche un'offesa contro gli omosessuali. (mi piacciono invece i concerti rock: Johnny Hallyday e Zucchero e i Rolling Stones !!! e CARLOS SANTANAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!! )Tuttavia davanti al ritorno delle ipocrisie e dei puritani (come certi cristiani o certi musulmani) - per me - ogni modo di ostacolare l'ipocrisia ed il puritanismo va utilizzato. Ragion per cui, per strategia, sono favorevole a tutte le street parade, gay pride, nudismo, donne svestite, minigonne, topless, uomini nudi (molto) , pubblicità scandalosa, ecc. Perché per me vale TUTTO pur di combattere l'ipocrisia ed il puritanismo (che odio particolarmente). Odio il puritanismo perché si inizia con controllare il vestito e subito dopo c'è la censura. Quanto al matrimonio degli omosessuali sono contro perché l'istituzione stessa del matrimonio non risponde più alla realtà ed è da cambiare. I drammi dei divorzi vanno evitati. I diritti dei partner vanno garantiti. I bambini vanno protetti. Ma l'istituzione stessa del matrimonio è antiquata e non risponde più alla realtà e va cambiata. Quindi gli omosessuali non vanno sposati, ma tutti i cittadini hanno diritto ad un nuovo modo di gestire le loro molteplici convivenze. L'adozione dei bambini: conosco dei casi di "famiglie" nelle quali sono presenti diversi adulti e dei bambini di genitori diversi. Il tutto riesce a vivere in armonia se si è capace di rispettare ognuno per la sua propria persona e dove tutti appartengono a tutti e senza dire "questo è mio figlio mentre questo non è mio figlio". Cioè i figli appartengono a loro stessi e non ai genitori. Pero è necessaria una responsabilità ed una autorità che permetta di proteggere ed educare i bambini. Ragion per cui anche l'adozione va abolita nella forma che conosciamo oggi. Vanno inventati nuovi modi di garantire la protezione e la guida dei minorenni. Anzi, l'aumento della delinquenza giovanile prova che addirittura la famiglia non svolge più il suo ruolo e quindi va inventata una nuova forma di inquadratura dei giovani. L'essere umano è un animale gregario. Nel passato viveva in tribù. Oggi la tribù non è più questione di sangue ma di cultura, interessi, convinzioni, anche risparmi, aiuto reciproco, ecc. Comunque il bisogno di vivere in comunità esiste e quindi le nozioni di famiglia, matrimonio, adozione ecc vanno aggiornate soprattutto per evitare le sofferenze. Segnalo inoltre che dall'età di 16 anni ho degli ottimi amici omosessuali. Inoltre scientificamente: il sesso del cervello dipende dello sviluppo di aree particolari nel cervello il ché determina la tendenza della personalità. Cosi un cervello può svilupparsi femminile in un cranio appartenente ad un corpo femminile o ad un corpo maschile ed un cervello può svilupparsi maschile in un cranio appartenente ad un corpo femminile o ad un corpo maschile. Cioè anatomicamente e biologicamente non sempre il sesso del cervello corrisponde al sesso del corpo corrispondente e quindi tutto quello che esiste nella natura fa parte della natura e va rispettato in quanto tale. Ne è degli omosessuali come di tutti gli altri a secondo della curva di Gauss: pochi estremi e molti medi vale a dire in un gruppo ci sono pochi estremi: pochi molto buoni e pochi molto cattivi - e molti medi : molte, anzi una grande maggioranza di persone normali. Ed i “religiosi” ? C’è gente che crede che Dio esiste. Credono anche che Dio ha creato l’uomo, anzi spesso non accettano nemmeno l’evoluzione di Darwin. Se si accetta che Dio ha creato l’uomo si deve anche accettare che ha creato esseri umani con gambe storte, capelli rossi, occhi azzurri, situs inversus (cioè umani che hanno il cuore non a sinistra ed il fegato a destra, bensì umani che hanno il cuore a destra ed il fegato a sinistra, caso abbastanza frequente per essere documentato nella letteratura scientifica) ci sono anche uomini che hanno il pene che tira verso il basso invece di tirare verso l’alto quando va in erezione e ci sono anche esseri che hanno nella loro scatola cranica un cervello del sesso opposto al sesso degli organi sessuali che appartengono al loro corpo, ci sono anche esseri ermafroditi cioè maschi e femmina nello stesso tempo. Tutti questi sono casi della natura. Se Dio crea la natura crea pure tutti questi casi diversi e quindi questi vanno accettati, anzi rifiutare le creature di Dio è un peccato. Aggiungerei che l’uomo “normale” cioè quello teorico o ideale che vediamo nei nostri libri di anatomia o fisiologia , nella realtà NON ESISTE. È una visione utopica e semplificata per la semplice ragione che i parametri che compongono un individuo sono infiniti ed è impossibile che questa infinita di parametri sia perfetta. Cosi basta che un muscolino del piede abbia 1 millimetro fuori norma perché la volta plantare sia squilibrata e di conseguenza tutta la struttura corporea ne subisca le conseguenze che a loro volta perturbano il funzionamento degli organi che a loro volta influenzano la mente, ecc. Ragion per cui il normale non esiste ed il non-normale è normale.
In conclusione vanno accettati, per quello che sono, i belli ed i brutti, quelli col naso lungo, la pelle nera, gli occhi verdi, il pene sbilenco, i gobbi, i ciechi, i sordi, i pazzi, i geni, gli eterosessuali e gli omosessuali, eccetera !!! perché sono creature e basta. Se gli omosessuali venissero considerati per quello che sono non avrebbero bisogno di sbizzarrirsi. L’ipocrisia ed il puritanismo non risolvono i problemi anzi sono una minaccia per la Libertà. No ai puritani ! No passaran ! ite missa est 
pax domini sit semper vobiscum PS by CB: The above brilliant article is an answer to the mean organized stupidity of the following campaign: HELP STOP GAY PRIDE IN JERUSALEM. See also: Jerusalem gay march damned by religious Jews. The campaign mentioned is organized by the Jerusalem Prayer Team. Mike Evans of the Mike Evans Ministries, Churches United with Israel, is sending around the following chain letter: "Dear Jerusalem Group,
We have received 40,000 signatures to send to Prime Minister Olmert as an appeal to him to cancel the Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem scheduled for Friday, November 10. I am going to wait 12 more hours before I forward the emails. I really believe that 100,000 people appealing to him would have an enormous response.
The homosexuals have targeted Jerusalem in an effort to legitimize homosexuality as an acceptable Christian lifestyle. They wear crosses as badges of honor. They want to convince Jerusalemites that Christians support homosexuality. These are the people that claimed that Abraham Lincoln, Walt Whitman, and even Jesus, himself, was a homosexual. And when Christians speak out, they are accused of "homo-hatred", and called "Nazis."
You can be sure this attempt to sodomize Jerusalem has been birthed from hell. You can also be certain that if this parade is held, it will cause the deaths of many of our young American soldiers in Iraq, as Islamic terrorists kill them, believing that Christians are trying to infect the Muslim world with perversion, and that they are doing God a favor.
Please forward this to ten friends and ask them to add their names to the petition to Prime Minister Olmert. And, please ask them to pray.
Please send this e-mail to 10 people you know and ask them to continue the "Save Jerusalem" prayer chain.
Please sign the petition to Prime Minister Olmert today! We must not delay time is of the essence. We need 100,000 signatures.
Please don't just delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this along to 10 friends! Please ask them to not delete it, but to do the same and ask the 10 they send to keep it going... and not delete it.
Keep this going around the world.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Mike Evans
