IV The Wisconsin Light Statewide Organization Formed [Madison]- The entire Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual community of Wisconsin is uniting to create a statewide network. This "congress" of organizations is To Fight Bigots and Hate Mongers expected to be a powerful political force in the next few years. "We are becoming extremely organized," said Dale Johnson, President of the Board of The United and an AIDS activist. "Bigots and hate mongers will no longer be able to attack any member of our community without a swift response from the Gay and Lesbian community. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us." There is a Gay rights agenda," said Karl Hoagland of the Human Rights League. "We want equal, not special, protection under the law. We want our basic civil rights. We want to live without fear of violence. We want to be able to marry and raise families. We want to pursue our personal dreams and goals. We want the same opportunities that others take for granted." The statewide network has been the brainchild of State Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Madison). "We need to be unified to confront the assaults on our community," she said. "When I introduce Domestic Partnership legislation and same-sex marriage legislation, the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual and supportive communities will be organized to lobby their representatives, talk to the media, and inform the public." The statewide network is still in formation with nearly 100 Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual and ally WEARING THE GREEN— marchers Gay and Lesbian make their debut during the San Francisco St. Patrick's Day Parade on March 13, 1994. organizations becoming involved, San Francisco invited them to join the celebration in response to Boston canceling their Annual Irish Parade in protest of a court order allowing Gays and Lesbians to march. including: The Wisconsin Light, In Step Magazine, the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Legislature Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade Campus Center, Lizards (Lesbians 35 plus years in age), Northern Women, the Passes State Democratic Party, GALVAnize, the Canceled to Keep Gays Out Lesbian Alliance of Metro Milwaukee Health Care [Boston, MA]- If the Massachusetts expressed disappointment at the (LAMM), the National Organization for State Supreme Judicial Court thought it cancellation of the 92-year-old parade.

    Bulletproof Radio #729 Announcer: Bulletproof Radio, a state of high performance. Dave Asprey: You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. Today's episode is going to be a ton of fun because we're going to talk about psychedelics. We're going to talk about stress. We're going to talk about anxiety. And we're going to talk about vibrations. And no, I don't mean like having good vibes, although we'll probably talk about that too. I mean the kind of vibrations that physically affect your mitochondria, your cells, even your nervous system and things like that. Dr. Dave Rabin is a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health tech entrepreneur, inventor, researcher, and a guy who's in clinical practice specialized in mental health disorders that are resistant to treatment, things like PTSD, things like substance abuse. And he's looked at chronic stress in humans for more than a decade and has some really good ideas on what we can do about it. So if you're ready to go deep, let's go. Dr. Dave, welcome to the show, Dr. David Rabin: Thank you so much for having me, Dave. It's a pleasure to be here. Dave Asprey: Dave. You're a weird guy. You studied psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, motivational interviewing, oh, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy, medication assisted psychotherapy and things like that. As well as, we're going to get into it later, the Apollo Neuro, the device that uses vibrations to hack the nervous system. It's pretty esoteric and pretty wide ranging.

John himself is ambiguous about “ambiguous.” He says that when the city asked him to “decorate” the precinct he thought of the Paseo de la Reforma, in Mexico City, with its bronze heroes—a mile of heroes. He thought that maybe it would be interesting—or at least accurate to life on a calamitous South Bronx street, a street of survivors—to commemorate a few of the people he knew who were having trouble surviving the street, even if they were trouble themselves.

Lee Vayle - March 8, 1998 Heavenly Father, it’s so wonderful to hear the songs of Zion and know that we are singing them unto you, that we have a part of You, Yourself, and a part in Your great predestinated plan; so one day it’s going to be God, All in all, when the Son hands over everything to the Father, Who now we know you, Great Jehovah-Elohim, standing here somewhere amongst the Bride, somewhere adjudicating, somewhere blessing, somewhere helping. You are here, Lord, to bring us this Word as You want it to be to a people worshipping you in Spirit and in Truth to bring forth a Resurrection and a Rapture. We know that to be true. What a golden hour in which we live! What a wonderful time. We are rejoicing this morning and have our doubts settled and any fear we might have put aside, because you have not given us a spirit of fear but of love. And You, Yourself, Love, are here giving us courage and a sound mind. May each one realize that, not only have we passed from death unto life, but into that life for which there is a true sanity, which is the mind of God; even as Paul said, “Let this mind be in you which was in Christ.” We know, Father, that is true. We know this is a mind age; we know it is your age. We know we’re a part of it. May we never forget it.

I had done a couple of CDs; one was with my brother Elvin and Richard Davis, the bass player. They made – – I think they made two releases from that date. And I did another date with Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci. But, these two albums were the objects of the promotion. I mean, they promote very, very heavily everyday. I must have had 40 interviews and about 30 record signings at the record shops, plus all of the recording. We did seven concerts and people inevitably want the records, CDs of the concert for us to sign. I have a trio over there, with Jimmy Cobb and John Fink. It was called, “The Great Jazz Trio.” It was not my name, but the Japanese have special names for everything, you know? That's only one in a series of tree others which he called the great jazz trio.
