Imagine you did not write them. Imagine you are passionate person, seriously committed to reestablishing natives in invaded areas. Do not imagine you are a dumb bureaucrat. Do not imagine you are any of the other nasty people out there who do not care to do the right thing. Imagine you really, really would like to do the right thing, but you do not know how, and you would like instructions from someone who really knows what they are doing. </div><div><br></div><div>Now reread your list of 30 steps. Any time a step is repeated, cross it out. For example steps 1,2,3,4 are not four steps, they are one step. Notice how quickly you no longer have 30 steps, you now have 27 steps.</div><div><br></div><div>Now reread steps 5 and 6. Please try not to laugh at yourself. </div><div><br></div><div>Here you are proposing the 30 (27?) steps, and in steps 5 and 6 you are saying: 'Oh by the way, there are some other steps, but I'm not going to tell them to you......" Really. Really? Are you serious? Then why am I bothering to read any of your list???!!!!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>In you editing process, I might suggest you watch the late great George Carlin as he edits the 10 Commandments in this brief youtube video.</div><div><br></div><div>(This video may not be appropriate for all viewers as it contains, adult language and adult thinking.) </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-RGN21TSGk">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-RGN21TSGk</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>With all due respect,</div><div>john barr</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><b><i><i>Koyaanisqatsi</i> means "crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living"</i></b></div></span> </div><br></body></html>
