Barbara, I think your posting is very much expressing yourself.  And, while I do see your cultural background, I wonder if that is really a straight jacket for you any longer.  We all speak in and through a cultural context, which has a…

My Dearest Friends: There is a labor perspective on the protests, which you can see articulated in part below by the president of the ILWU.  As a union labor lawyer who has probably made it into the one-percent, I am definitely not the right…

No Collective Bargaining for Publc Employees in Vrginia

The right of public employees to bagain collectively has recently come under attack in many states.  Don't worry Virginians, there's no hope here for public employee unions.   As recently as 1993, the somewhat liberal Douglas Wilder signed legislation making it clear that in our cradle of democracy public employers cannot recognize any employee association as the bargaining agent of employees.  Collective bargaining agreements covering public employees are also forbidden.  Virginia public…See More

John L. Bohman replied to the discussion 'A Green Way to Get Rid of the Ice in the Church Parking Lot?'
I am reluctant to weigh in on this with my personal challenges, but the primary concern here needs to be safety, especially the safety of the elderly and the disabled. I am at the Church many evenings, and the ice has been a real challenge for many…

John L. Bohman replied to the discussion 'A Church Name Change?'
Congregation, instead of Church, is worth careful consideration for the reasons explained by June and Mary. It is more inclusive without being secular. On the other hand, Unitarian Universalist is the actual name of our religious movement…

John L. Bohman replied to the discussion 'A Church Name Change?'
I do not favor this personally, but I am willing to go along if the whole congregation wants to change the name after careful consideration. That being said, let me explain why I like our name the way it is. I think we should reflect long and hard…
