As I was discussing politics with my 59 year old Mother on a lovely spring Sunday I replied `You know it's your generation's fault. You guys were cool, you stopped the war, you wrestled control from the establishment, but then as you got older you sold out and now you're systematically ruining the country.' She responded by imploring me to keep my mouth shut at Easter as her friends who were rabid Limbaugh fans would be attending. As a guest I usually keep quiet unless someone starts spouting out and out lies.
What started as a flip remark inspired a quasi-retrospective on the Boomer generation and how the Boomer soul now holds this country in the balance. Read More

No, not that 'Hunter'

I'm not ready for 'American Sportsman' but I have taken a gun safety course. My take as a hunter is wonderment at how Dick could shoot this poor guy? I'm astounded at the incredible negligence it takes to shoot someone while hunting quail.

In the end, unless the person jumps in front of your shotgun, it's always the shooter's fault.

There's more... Read More

What more is there to say? Bush came off his vacation while people died. End of story. So what's next? Not much if we waste our time trying to defend Democratic leaders at the local level. Who cares if Ray Nagin goes down? Does Gov. Blanco inspire you? Me neither. The net result of the Bush Presidency is the loss of an American city. It's time to get this bum out of office. Seriously.

March on Washington

While in the shower this morning I thought about the protests and rallies against the Vietnam War and wishing that I could march in one against this war. But then the tought came to me, why don't you organize your own protest?

I'm looking to organize a respectful silent march through Washington D.C. on October 30th. This war is a tragedy and it needs to end as soon as possible. I think the power of thousands walking through the corridors of power while keeping silent will send a powerful message to our leaders and the rest of the country. There will be no speakers, no candidates, no nothing. Just Americans united in grief over what this country has become.

I have zero experience when it comes to this and wonder what other poeple think and how I would go about attempting to organize a march.

Thank god for the internet.
