I found this video to be very inspiring

Check this out; a group of high school kids banded together to counter-protest that detestable bunch of motherfuckers in the Westboro Baptist Church when they came to their town to shit all over everything.




Why do I have to go on YouTube to see this? This is the kind of thing everybody should get to hear about

If the popular news media can focus more on normal, kind people like this, rather than just on the teabaggers, bigots, Christian fundamentalists and other assorted pieces of shit who really only make up a small portion of America but are becoming disproportionately vociferous; people would see that this really is a good country worth believing in and striving to make a better place. Maybe some of that apathy that lets those groups outshout the rest of us would begin to be silenced.

I know I only have four or five readers, but y'all do have the power of the cut&paste and the email forward. Lets get the word out

Its been a long time

I've been asked by many to update my blog, and I must say that I haven't been able to muster up the will to do so. I have no clever and or inane insights to yammer-on about, and I've been doing so much writing between work and the dissertation, that any additional "long-writing" seems difficult and tiresome.

This morning an online friend had suggested I post something political. This got me wondering about what I may want to write. So I took a quick look at some of the political preaching that people place within their facebooks, their blogs and their tweets and all, and I must say that I'm beginning to find all of it to be very dull, and that I don't want to contribute to the public floggings of many very dead, rotting, in many cases long skeletonized, mayhaps even fossilized horses.

So my political message for the day?

Be good to one another, and be good to earth. That is all.
