There is no glory in the violence we choose to inflict upon other human beings.
There is no justice for the victims of our collective hate. There is only the suffering of the many made possible by the decisions of a few. Do not come to me with open arms or begging bowl when the alliance you seek is one of kinship or dispensation for your brutality. I am not your brother or... - [Read more]

Across wwwLand and out in the other world, many people said goodbye to John Edwards Wednesday. Some had a tear in their eye. Some had glee in their hearts. Judging by most of what I saw and read, it must have been about the best press John has received since he started his campaign.

His two rivals were gracious in their farewells. Some people who had done their very best to ignore him while he was actually in the campaign said how important his message had been now that he is no longer a... - [Read more]

The justification for Public Law 93-531 passed by Congress in 1974 was that the Navajo-Hopi land dispute is so serious that 10,000 Navajos near Big Mountain, Arizona, must be relocated, forcibly if necessary. It would be the largest forced relocation of U.S. citizens since the relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

But tradition-minded Navajo and Hopi claim there never was a... - [Read more]

VP pick Sara Palin frightens me.

She frightens me because I fully understand the power of ultra conservative, fundamentalist women and I know how many of them there still are. All I have to do is go sit in a diner in any small town in Minnesota, and listen to nearby conversations for a half hour to know that things are not than much different today than they were in the 60s, for women born and raised there.

Or I can simply stay home and spend time in the Lobby of this large senior... - [Read more]

Out of some morbidly twisted sense of fascination with the loathsome, nasty, repellent and repulsive side of life (after all, why else I would have spent all these years blogging about the metaphorical trail of slime left behind by this guy) I might just break a nearly fifteen year record and actually go into a movie theater again and put up with the 10 or so minutes of 120 decibel commercials to watch this one. I have no idea why otherwise.

Heres the trailer for Oliver Stones upcoming... - [Read more]

Weve become embarrassed to speak of it, but love is what its all about: love of country, justice, peace, humanity...and love of ones fellow Americans - ones fellow protesters.  In contemplating my most recent experience demonstrating against the war in Washington DC, thats what comes to me, the overwhelming love I feel for those who care enough to stand up and be counted.  

My son Daniel and I flew out of Atlanta late on Tuesday, the 18th so I could get in a full day of work.... - [Read more]

Cordray & U.S. Senator Brown encourage use of Earned Income Tax Credit

( Columbus )--Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray says hundreds of Ohioans have a thousand-dollar check waiting for them to cash….if they knew where to find it.

"Have those people who support this war ever been at the receiving end of a bomb? Do they know what war is?  War is: your house is gone, no water, no electricity, your roads are blown up and....your family is dead."

The conversation started not about war, but about Peace.
We had just come from a planning meeting to discuss planning the plans for a "Peace Event."
I am usually restless, squirming in my chair, at peace meetings.
This night was a particular challenge,... - [Read more]

Lets get serious for a moment.

There are better and more important things than politics. And if things dont quite work out the way wed like them to regardless of who wins the election in November, dont forget that the road we want to travel is always out there...

Ok. OPOL inspired me to give it a try so I  gathered some of my photos and some music I recorded on a bus trip to DC and made a video of it.  I had planned to make my debut on the Garden Blog on big orange with something about plants, but its happening here first.

I think some of the images rotate too quickly, and, for mine, there is no motion. If I had to do it over again,  I would add a zoom to the woman in the orange jump suit because her sign is hard to read on Youtube... - [Read more]

First of all, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the Kossacks and other members of the netroots community for your commitment to the survival of the Pretty Bird Woman House.  Helping this shelter has been one of the most gratifying things Ive ever done, and some of that has to do with the outpouring of caring and compassion that I witnessed while I was doing this project.

This morning I received an email informing me that the... - [Read more]
