[Artemisia] Artemisia Digest, Vol 87, Issue 4

[Jeanine Schlauch]

This ought to keep the list burning for a while, no?


I would love an electronic Sage.  I really don't know why it has taken
Corp. so long to consider this as, most times, the Sage is read once
and then tossed.  (no offense to the Chronicler, there just isn't any
reason to keep most copies around.)   Hopefully, they will provide
choices - if you need a hardcopy, you can opt for one.

And whomever wrote that original missive should probably go back to
marketing school.   I don't mind paying for certain things.  I don't
mind paying for those things to be required.  I REALLY mind paying for
legal fees.  Excuse me?  You are out of your freaking mind if you
think I'm going to pay more just so a bunch of lawyers can drag the
lawsuit on and on.

And , IMO - being married has nothing to do with being a family.
Sorry - had to say it.  ;o)

It makes sense to combine bodies in the same household.  And receiving
just one Sage, no matter how many people are living there, makes even
more sense.

I like the idea of raising the value of Sustaining and dropping the
value of Associate.  You pay less, you get less.  But if I have to pay
more, it needs to be for good reason - and this ain't it.

Happy Friday, all!!

What gravels me is half the Associate members aren't even married.? They are
living together declaring themselves a family. Wulph and I don't mind paying the
extra 20 it's going to cost us.? I will object to an electronic Sage.? Since I
am visually impared, I can not read an entire Sage on the computer and would not
happen.? I read with a magnifing glass.

I guess that my biggest objection is that it is just to pay high priced
lawyers to fight with each other.

I do object to the structure that costs some people more than others
based on marital status, equal rights (cost) for all is possible,
important, and worth fighting for.

Restructuring the Society to make it a less attractive target, like
incorporating in each state individually could save money for most people.
Yes, those who live in some states would have to pay more to support
their lawyers, but then perhaps they should!
At least in theory we have the ability to change the laws that make
these suits so expensive and everlasting.
