John you can't just keep doing this. You just keep posting without answering 
the specific texts and arguments that I gave in my last reply to you 
concerning your interpretation of Heidegger. Especially damning for you was 
the text on anxiety which I posted, because your whole "Heideggerian" 
justification for Deep Ecology is the mitigation of anxiety. As that text 
showed, anxiety not only should not be eliminated, but CANNOT be eliminated, 
because anxiety is precisely how Dasein is authentically disclosed as pure 
potentiality for being. The fact that you think anxiety (as Heidegger means 
it) can be mitigated or even eliminated clearly shows that you are 
interpretating anxiety ontically. Anxiety is not about just any non-being; 
it is specifically about the "non-being" which is Dasein itself (pure 
potentiality for being). To mitigate anxiety, you would have to mitigate 
Dasein!

"A group of American anti-war demonstrators who came to Iraq with Japanese 
human shield volunteers made it across the border today with 14 hours of 
uncensored video, all shot without Iraqi government minders present. Kenneth 
Joseph, a young American pastor with the Assyrian Church of the East, told 
UPI the trip "had shocked me back to reality." Some of the Iraqis he 
interviewed on camera "told me they would commit suicide if American bombing 
didn't start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their 
freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a 
monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. 
He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow torture and killing 
made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, 
feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from 
foot to head."
