As I sit and ponder the events of the past few weeks, I begin to wonder just what the future may hold. Will we as Democrats and Independents and reconstructed Republicans, look to a bright day of grassroots involvement; or to a return to the old days of 'I don't give a shit.'

While not giving one thought to thinking this race is by any means over, a strategic way of thinking may be in order. We have phone calls to make, doors to knock on, mail-outs to process. But, when we drag ourselves back to our cubbyholes, when we turn on the late night talk shows and curl up with an ice cold beverage, put our feet up and just chill out; what ideas bubble up and demand attention?

My wife kicked me out of the house today. Told me to go hang out in the middle of the street. Just kidding.... I think.

So, I fired up the Redneckmobile... popped in my Keb Mo CD... 'I'm in a Dangerous Mood' was playing; and trundled off to HQ. On the way, I decided to go and early vote because I had to get that vote cast before I fell dead or something.

As many of you know, I have been trying to locate 'Kinard the Life-Saver' by way of the internet. To no avail, at least, so far. I have emailed the 'Oprah Winfrey Show' in hopes of them picking up the story. The MSM in KC has shown absolutely no interest in the story.

Here's the link to the original diary:

Through the good graces of the dailykos and my fellow Kossacks, we have raised the level of awareness of this situation. It has yet to go viral, but I feel there are enough Kossacks aware of the story and the fact that it can be confirmed very easily. (darksydeofthemoon has my actual Email addy.)

As mentioned before, my wife and I travelled to KC on Saturday to attend the Obama rally. We drove about 3 1/2 hours to get there. I'm sorry that this is not so much a timely post, but I have not been able to get on my computer for the last few days.

In my comments on other diaries, I have spoken out on the subject of race relations. A few commenters asked to comment further on certain issues. Tonight's topic is race relations.

I was asked to put a comment I made on another diary into a diary and post it.

the other diary, well worth the read...

http://www.dailykos.com/...

I enlisted in the US Navy in 1967 and served 9 years being discharged as a conscientious objector in 1976. I served my country well, but I could no longer serve in a military capacity. So, I guess I can see both sides of the point of patriotism.
