In this house we believe that all species have a right to exist and all sub- divisions of humans have a right to exist, whether by race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, generational affiliation, etc.
In this house we place the needs of the biosphere and the natural systems that support it above human desires or profit.
In this house we are committed to a more equitable world, free from the both the brutality of capitalism and the excessive control of centralized economies. We are committed to a new economic system for the 21st century.
In this house we are committed to stopping extinction, human and nonhuman. We understand our part in it and work to avoid ecocidal behavior.
In this house we believe that all war is an abomination but the moral failure falls to the aggressor. Self defense is a right.
In this house we belief in a right to self expression and choice as long as nobody is harmed. A person’s spiritual beliefs, reproductive choices, personal style, and more are their own business.
In this house we belief in human rights for humans and in animal rights for nonhumans.
In this house we match energy. You are welcome here as long as you are capable of being nice. When you stop, so will we. Let’s be sure to have a pleasant interaction.
In this house we believe that love is still the strongest force in the universe.
This is my personal values statement. What are your values? If you wrote a statement of the ethos in your house, what would it say?
Annabel Ascher: In this House!
You have set out a strong and righteous creed.
In this House!
Thank you!
My House
My house is small
because my desires are too
My meals are simple
because my tastes are few.
My life is quiet
because I have everything I need.
My heart is still
because I am where I want to be
This land is beautiful
I need be nowhere else
I have books and movies and music
and they all go well with a hot cup of tea,
a slice of toast
and a warm fire.
I can see the morning sun through my window
and at evening time the stars dance
across the sky.
My lady sits next to me
reading her book
and taking notes.
She looks to me like a piece of Heaven-
So beautiful and happy
And I am grateful that my house is small
It makes us sit closer together.
