of Geophysical Sciences at the
University of Chicago released a study that compared the differences in
greenhouse-gas emissions caused by various plant- and meat-based diets.
Researchers found that the difference between a red-meat diet and a
vegan diet – in terms of greenhouse-gas emissions – equaled the
difference between driving a sedan and driving a sport-utility vehicle.
Bewitched by the Veilby Dorothy Rowewho welcomes our reprinting this and following article [The niqab is] a mark of
separation and that is why it makes other
people from outside the community feel uncomfortable.’ Tony Blair’s
answer to a journalist’s question October 17, 2006....I don’t recall
Tony Blair ever expressing publicly any disquiet about the way the
singer Bono is never seen without his dark glasses, despite the fact
that the eyes reveal more about the person than any other part of the
body.
Bigger Breasts and Suicideby Dorothy RowePeople seem puzzled by suicide in
women with breast implants, but I
wouldn’t be surprised if BDD [Body Dysmorphic Disorder] was behind it,’
says Katherine Phillips, a psychiatrist at Brown Medical School,
Providence, Rhode Island. New Scientist, October 21, 2006 ...New
Scientist didn’t contact me. Had this happened, I would have said that
it was really very simple. Just ask each woman what she hoped the
breast implant would do for her, and take what she says seriously, not
merely as evidence for or against an abstraction like BDD which resides
nowhere but in the mind of a psychiatrist or psychologist who believes
that such a disorder exists.

EVENTS CONTINUED
MORE ON THE TWO
SPRING EVENTS
For Hashimoto on the 28th of January, the screening and discussion will be entirely in Japanese and therefore our Japanese participants are urged to go along and make the most of the event.Those non-Japanese with good Japanese language skills are also encouraged to attend. Hashimoto is approximately 50minutes away from Shinjuku and isn't too difficult to get to. Check it on your internet train guide. If you go along, just call Sulejman on 090-1268-4412 or call the bar on 0427-700530 and someone will pick you up. Salji is a two minute walk from the station.
The next Spring event in Tokyo is on Sunday 11th February at 4pm at Heaven's Door, Shimokitazawa. We're back to the second Sunday of the month. We're continuing the theme of social class and the film will either be about collective factory take overs in Argentina, or about the Justice For Janitors campaign in Los Angeles. We'll give you a title as soon as a decision has been made.
The address for Heaven's door is: Takimoto Bldg.2F, 2-17-10, Kitazawa, Setagaya-Ku, Tokyo. It is just two minutes from the Doutour coffee shop and Hokuo fake scandiinavian bread shop, on the South side of Shimokitaza station, turning right at Dunkin' Donuts and bearing left a few meters until you seee the place on your left.
Next, Spring has been invited by the NUGW-TOKYO-NAMBU-FWC ( National Union of General Workers Foreign Workers Caucus ) to participate in the Third Annual March In March on Sunday 3rd March from 1pm in Miyashita Park, Shibuya. The march is for Job Security and Equality For All.Check out the union website at:http://www.nambufwc.org/ for further details and a map. This is an important event and we would like to encourage as many Spring participants as possible to attend. At Spring we are trying to network with other groups and the FWC has extended an open invitation to anyone who wants to express solidarity, regardless of whether or not they are a member of the union. For those of you who are not members, unless it's for well thought out political reasons, joining is a good idea! We'll give you an update as things progress, but please put the word out to as many people as you can.
That's all for now people! There'll be another update soon and some exciting news about a particularly well known singer songwriter who'll be paying Japan, and Spring a visit.

More than 90% of foreign workers in Japan are hired on fixed-term contracts, leaving them vunerable to dismissal or non-renewal. Last year, over 400 people took to the streets in Tokyo to demand a stable work environment, free from illegal dismissals, unpaid wages, or discrimination. Simultaneous demonstrations also took place in Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka.
To get involved, contact Louis Carlet or phone 03-3434-0669.

SONGS
(SELECTED)
Go Down You Broken Old Man
A song of renewal and hope
There's a Lesson To be Learned in the Trees
When children die, we must be there to turn death around. It was true during the Vietnam war, and it is true today. Resist and refuse.
I'd like to sit down by you
Sun crossing the room, a hoped for romance
The Highway Song (Monoxide Song)
Wrote late high school, linking the environment to love. About commitment and betrayal.
3 Months Ago
A love ends, a new one begins. Between these two events can seem a long time. This is a song about both loss and hope
Bar at Midnight
Sitting at Holger Danske Bodega in Elsinore, Denmark, I wrote this in 1975.
Rippling Sea
A poem I put to music, about the seashore at Miura Hanto.
Tofu Spaghetti
I was asked by an English Speaking Society at a Japanese school to give a lecture on something. I had no idea, as I hate lectures or speechmaking. So I came up with the idea of doing things that go against the grain...like combining tofu and spaghetti.
Pressures of the World
Written as a buffer to insulate us from the pains of growing up. Pretty funny, even now.
The Night is Young
Just a love song, from the early 1980s.
The Revision
About Japanese government's changes to immigration law affecting Korean and other former colonial subjects and their descendents, as well as all 'foreign' residents and continued arbitrary treatment of those who commited civil disobedience in order to make a more just society.
Spider song
A failed attempt at love gave birth to this song about salvaging a friendship.
