[IPSM] First Nation Women Prostituted 'in Overwhelming Numbers'

[Douglas F. Jack]

Hello
Homeless and coerced sex-trade friends both male and female,
Melissa Farley,
Usman x,
Macho Philipovich,
MacDonald Stainsby,
Fidel Castro,

        Thank you all for your energy and input into this important matter 
for us all.  MacDonald's issue of concern, Macho's addition, Usman's 
detailed response, Melissa Farley's knowledge, Fidel Castro's example in the 
face of all US social and military attempts to impose the profession of 
prostitution on Cubans and Sweden for yet another example of clear humanity.

        My critique is the reluctance of parties to enter into formal debate 
on this issue.  I know it is time-consuming, but the details are worth the 
effort for a unity of effort.  If each assertion can be approached 
point-by-point, rather than rather than 
sweeping-assertion-by-sweeping-assertion, I believe that some common efforts 
can be achieved.

        My own personal approach is to approach this issue as advocated by 
the Gayanerekowa, Law of the Great Peace, with a Wampum-like system of 
Economic recognition, empowerment, decision-making and inclusion for all.  I 
am hoping that I can become involved with folks who are interested in 
studying and applying the Gayanerekowa and its principles for collective 
living, Personal Vision-based education, Production Societies, time-based 
accounting, string-based capital-currency, comprehensive recognition for 
male and female labours of family and community service, progressive 
ownership, equality of opportunity, consensus and facilitation of caucusing 
as well as formal dialectic exchange.

        I would at least like to see my individual and family economies 
aligned with developing our forces, caring together and making a greater 
opportunity available for all, while I continue to work on local, national 
and international levels.

Our sexuality is a mirror for every aspect of our creativity.  When we have 
lost control or ownership for our means of livelihood this affects sexual 
expression and every aspect of being alive,
