[Imc-unity] Repost of last posting

[Cayce Callaway]

Sorry Sean, I've been operating at near burn-out mode for the past couple of 
weeks.  But you're right, I think we can make this happen if we persevere.

That's a tricky question and I do remember us talking about it.  I'm 
inclined to think offering that respect to some while witholding it from 
others is too agenda laden to be a part of our basic principles.  I would 
veer from that viewpoint however, when talking about police in the line of 
duty.  When they put themselves in the position of being public servants, 
and despite their most common behavior that is what they're supposed to be, 
in my book, they give up their right to privacy.  In fact, I think it's part 
of our responsibility to photograph their actions.

best,
cayce

This is a repost of the last post I sent, so far no comments one way or 
another. Everyone still there??
I think it is only myself, Cayce, Sheri and Jason?? Yes?

With only so few of us, if we all stay attentive, we could really get this 
Unity document together.

Cheers, Sean




Cayce,
The reason I included "reprisals" et al, was because in the discussion our 
group had in San Fran it was voiced that that is the ideology behind the 
policy, people were looking for a wording which would preclude it from 
meaning people other than activists, people were concerned that someone 
could take it to mean Klansmen and nazi-types, but I guess if they 
considered themselves "activists" what would that mean to the statement, and 
what does it mean to the statement if we leave out that bit and just go with 
your suggestion? (I think it would boil down to the same issue actually).
So really the question is how do we word this to show our intent (it it is 
our intent) to shield/protect cetrtain people/groups while not giving the 
same umbrella to others?

does this all make sens and what are thoughts from everyone?

Cheers, Sean

Actually I just had another thought on the last one (#3). What if instead
of listing the reasons and therefore limiting them, we say "All IMC's
respect the right of those who, for any reason, wish not to be
identified..."
