I own all of Reich's books, and read a couple of them... enjoyed two years of real honest-to-goodness reichian therapy... and am the webmaster of this fine orgonite website: www.artsyorgone.com/

So I vote revrob for moderator!

Or anyone really... I'm just sitting in a hotel in SF killing time (I'm 46 days late for the RAW memorial, as promised... the lasagna is still pretty tasty!)

I just saw there was no moderator so I did my little thing that I do when I see tribes I like that don't have a moderator. I typically don't wait around to much relying on the electoral vote. lol If tribe sends me a message stating I'm the new moderator I can then pass the torch to whomever would like it. I would like it myself but I think revvrob has more knowledge about the subject and has stated he is interested. If I am made moderator then I will just designate revvrob unless someone else wants is and there is some huge democratic debate that needs to happen. : ) I'm a total tribe whore and moderating certain tribes I think are really interesting is kind of like having my own 15 minutes of fame. I havent become a rockstar, yet (if ever) so moderating cool tribes has kind of become a fetish of sorts for me. lol ANYWAY, this tribe needs a moderator. I became moderator of the "Ethical Consumerism" tribe and while I do try to consume ethically I recently bought a 2007 Corvette and that's not really the most ethical car purchase these days. But it is ALOT of fun! : ) I asked other people on that tribe if someone else wanted it and they were all about me being moderator so I still am for now.

Okay, I'm apparently writing a book here now. Maybe later tonight or tommorrow we will see if we have a new moderator. Also, I totally agree with the route of quality content over quantity. If it turns into mass quantities that's fine as long as it's relevant and interesting. I hate to see when tribes get filled up with so much crap that it becomes frivolous. I hate to say it but even though I still feel the same way about Bush and 911 and other "hot topix" I do tire of the overkill. It's been a while since I've seen anything new that has really reached out and grabbed my interest. It's the same old stuff. Regarding those subjects we really need some new filthy dirt that is truly going to affect change. Otherwise it's just more of the same. AND, I don't claim to have all, or any, of the answers for a solution to a variety of dilemas. But with open discussion maybe one day we will see change. I feel certain we will and soon but not what I or alot of people hope for. More of the nightmarish scenario. Yes. I am the eternal pessemist!

> his aversion to mystical ideas seems to be a bit off

I never quite grokked what Reich was getting at regarding mysticism, but I felt I understood him better if I simply replaced "mysticism" with "faith".
