The Exogeny Center...
A place where it all comes together, whether its a group of youths exploring living simply for a few weeks, a family trying a microhouse out for a summer vacation, a think tank for sustainable energy, a nursery for intellectual establishment of a more symbiotic human-planetary relationship, or a functional "green" community.
Its a huge dream, yet so much more to those behind the formation of Exogeny Network. Its our passion, our life work, the driving force that gets us up out of bed before dawn to head off to our day jobs that pay the rent. Its the driving force that has us using all of our "disposable" income to aid Exogeny Network. Its also what has driven us, finally, to doing the most humble of jobs on this planet.
Begging.
Exogeny Network is struggling, just like everything else in this economy. Some of the "founders" have been out of work all or part of the last year. This isn't a big budget production--its a labor of love from a handful of people who regularly contribute time, money, and goods to its continuing to strive towards the lofty goals we have.
Seeking an Angel
Its time for us to come clean, and show you that our cupboards really ARE bare, and ask for some help. Our immediate NEED is to incorporate as a non-profit organization and file for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. A lot of paperwork has to be created to formalize something that has only functioned as an informal organization of individuals sharing a common goal. That is all "in progress," but, we need funds to file this paperwork with the appropriate state and federal agencies. That total is about $1000 that we do not have, nor can we immediately raise this amount. We need an ANGEL--and there have not been a stream of them coming to our doorsteps lately.
If you are that angel, or know someone who would like to be that angel, please email us!

Delivering Audience-driven media...
What does the phrase "delivering audience driven media" mean?
It means that the staff behind Gia Scott's Dawn of Shades actively seek out the opinions and interests of the audience to decide what topics we will be exploring on the program.
How do we do that?
Sometimes, its not easy to get people to speak up, especially if they basically like something. People are much more likely to become vocal when they strongly DISLIKE something than when they like it, which makes things a bit tricky. We pay attention to the virtual auditorium comments during the show, we listen when the topics we've had on the air are discussed, we listen to discussion groups that aren't directly related to the show or stations we appear on, and then we sort of take an educated wild guess. We have tried surveys, but it seems that most people aren't inclined to answering the questions, whether its 2 questions or 200 questions. We regularly encourage people to email us with suggestions or requests, but they aren't as forthcoming as we would like either. Make our day and email us!

Gun Control Producing Results
It has now been one year (12 months) since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be
destroyed by the government, a program costing Australia taxpayers
more than $500 million dollars.
The first year results are now available:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent;
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent!
(yes, 44 percent!!!)
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are up over 300 percent as compared with the last one year period when private ownership of a firearm was legal!
(NB:
the law-abiding citizens did turn in their personal firearms, the
criminal element did not and thus criminals in Australia still possess
their guns.)
While data for the
25 years preceding the confiscation of privately owned guns showed a
steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed
drastically upward in the past 12 months as criminals now are assured their victims will be unarmed.
Lastly, there has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while
residents are in their home.
