from Avaaz.com:

Dear fellow American,

I'm writing from Bali, Indonesia. It's hot here, it's humid--and it's infuriating. Our government is blocking progress at the all-important climate change negotiations here, even though it knows that the American people don't support its actions. Let's tell the world that the Bush administration doesn't represent us. Sign this petition now:

Most countries here at Bali are working urgently to craft a treaty capable of tackling the climate crisis. Everyone understands the stakes, and negotiators are working late--when I left the conference center at 10:30pm tonight, they were showing no signs of slowing. The key debate is whether developed countries should pledge to cut their climate change emissions by 25-40% by 2020--a step the scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change say could avert worst ravages of global warming.

Nearly every country supports these cuts. But not the Bush administration. In a press conference yesterday, Bush's delegates here tried to raise doubts about the credibility of the IPCC scientists (who just shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore). Bush's top negotiator called the proposed cuts in carbon emissions "totally unrealistic." And Bush's representatives have repeatedly denounced the Kyoto Protocol--even in the midst of the Kyoto Protocol's ten-year anniversary celebrations.

And they're doing it in our name.

Every few hours, the agreement here changes--one moment, the carbon cuts are in; the next moment, the cuts are out. Before the talks end this Friday, we can signal to the world that the American people are on their side--and encourage them to stand up to Bush's team by keeping the cuts in the treaty. Join me in signing this petition, and I'll make sure it reaches the key delegations here. It reads, in full:

Dear world: please ignore President Bush. He doesn't represent us.

http://www.avaaz.org/en/please_ignore_bush/3.php

Together, we can send the world a message--a message of hope, a message that change is coming, a message that the Bush administration's actions are out of step with the American people, and that Americans take our global responsibilities seriously even if our own government doesn't.

Most Americans, like most people everywhere, don't want catastrophic climate change.

Most Americans, like most people everywhere, want leaders to work together to forge a strong agreement that can ensure a livable planet for our children and grandchildren.

Most Americans don't have an official representative here. So let's represent ourselves. Please do sign this petition, and send it to your friends.

With hope,

Ben Wikler

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
