We believe we were created to be joyful beings. We believe it is a very good thing to celebrate our humanity. Thus, many of the things we hold most dear are as follows: honesty, joy, peace, love, respect, compassion, tolerance, kindness, patience, beauty, freedom of expression, fitness in body, mind and spirit, the right to privacy, and freedom to follow our own conscience with regard to what is deemed moral, right, or wrong; regardless of what may be "socially acceptable," or "politically correct." We believe in truth.

The e-mail from Contributing Editor Preston Peet had created a buzz in Disinformation's offices. We had encountered Jeff and Tracy's Neighbourhood, a 'virtual' community of Compassion, situated in Bend, Oregon. After a childhood where "organized religion" was taught as the only acceptable moral code, Jeff and Tracy's mission is "to give us like minded individuals a place to go to re-establish that sense of community." Jeff and Tracy are searching for like-minded individuals who would like to join their community or establish satellite groups. They provide a weekly Celebration Day and a mid-week discussion group "with regard to religion, spirituality, morality, sexuality, politics and many other issues."

Drop by their neighbourhood to read Jeff's thoughts on the social construction of addictive substances, the Labyrinth of Li(f)e and the Blame Game trap. Tracy has written poignantly about her spiritual journey through Mormonism, the Evangelical Free Church and Liberty University to a deeply personal religion grounded in reality.
