Mike Morell

I think that gendered issues are important  

That’s what I had to say about that

I suppose that predominantly women leadership of the camp

As I give that analysis

I hear myself describing the analysis that I just gave about my attitude

I suppose if it hadn’t been for the largely women and largely ecofeminist leadership the gender  

I imagine that they would have been every bit as important to the women

I hadn’t asked myself that question

 

I think security issues would have come more to the fore  

I’m presuming that the police would have behaved about the same in this case if it was women  

I would have loved to be there  

I talked to people who were involved

Which I was one

I think my starting point in the discussion

I could live with not putting it in

I might well have been convinced  

 

I think my main concern in the discussion would have been to reach a happy consensus

I may well know about them

I'm well aware of the drumming

I had a lot of trouble with the drumming.

I would like to have seen the power of the drumming supporting  

I thought that sometimes it interfered

I can understand how they would do that

I to sleep

 

I’m not 100 per cent on this one

I felt like the drumming issue wound up being pretty well

I see some element-

I think that the existence of the code of conduct

I know about and probably there are more

I think it is in their nature that’s it’s hard

no, I’m not so sure about this

 

I was going to say that people probably arrived with a clear sense

I’d say what political theory or the ideas behind it

I see that as positive

I see it as pretty raw energy

I think some of those actually happened

I may be glossing over difficulties

I remember the mud men.
