This list is designed as a neutral forum for the discussion of massage licensing and other touch, and holistic health regulation issues presenting all sides of the issues.

If discussing non-political professional issues we suggest that you join the http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Body_Work/ forum and post the messages there. You might want to consider joining this forum as well because some message threads might move to here after the discussion turns political.

Advertising spamming, and personal attacks are not tolerated. We are here to debate the issues. Although we may have differences in opinions we should respect that the other person is as sincere about his or her beliefs are we are.

Messages posted to this group are viewable by non-members but only members can post.

A thought:

Too often we are deadlocked.

Imagine.. What motivates those who disagree?

Imagine.. Can we up with solutions that respect minority rights?

Imagine.. Do we know what we really want?

Imagine.. Are the solutions to problems measurable?
