 \nVideo@Youtube and what SFOA could do to be part of that \nA possibility 
 for “man on the street interviews” \nMore A/V issues of the the 
 upcoming Petrocollapse Conference \nUpdate: the LAFCo Committee Meeting of 
 November 17 \nThe SF Task Force (volunteers will likely be needed who are 
 willing to make a year long commitment) \nSFOA Meeting Space (redux) the 
 new “small” Room #4 of AFSC vs. the Public Library (free, large) room 
 on Page Street \n         Other items not listed will be discussed as 
 necessary.\n\nJohn Siman, Presentation on his book 
 "DISCONNECTIVITIES":\n\nLocal activist/philologist John Siman is writing a 
 book entitled Disconnectivities. He will speak for 20 minutes (+/-) on the 
 following aspects of his work:\n\n        1. “How both our American food 
 and our American language have, for similar reasons, become petro-fueled 
 and therefore exponentially overblown and poisonous.  The German 
 philologist Victor Klemperer described the workings of the Nazis' language 
 in his book L.T.I., Lingua Tertii Imperii  (The Language of the Third 
 Reich) we have come to speak the L.A.B.S., the Lingua Americana Bubuli 
 Stercoris (the Language of American Bullshit) not as purely evil at the 
 L.T.I. but in some ways more dangerous, thus ..."\n\n        2. "An example 
 of L.A.B.S. in action or, why N.P.R. is more dangerous than FOX News: we 
 see in the “green” speeches of Clinton and Gore an idolatrous faith 
 that cleverly “framed” words function as a wondrous new technology 
 which would make mere truth obsolete.  If we are to have any chance of 
 surviving global climate change and petrocollapse, we must begin by 
 stripping the hi-tech bullshit from our language, so we can at least speak 
 to one another sensibly -- [and] it'll be harder than it might 
 sound!"\n\nDiscussion will follow.\n\nVideo:\nMike C. may be bringing the 
 Rob Newman video (also available online): “A History of Oil”  circa 1 
 hour. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/11/06/18326945.php
