There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss college in some way. Not the parties or all the “good times”. I miss the ordinary moments. I miss the free time we all had to simply be. To get to know each other as human beings. I miss [...]

In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create. ‘ What spark of humanity, of possible creativity, can remain alive in a being dragged out of sleep at six every morning, jolted about in suburban trains, deafened by the racket [...]

It is sad and disturbing that it seems our only idea of progress is growth. And our only idea of growth is expansion. And our only idea of expansion is profit. And our only idea of profit is value. And the only value we’ve come to honor is the dollar….
The dollar is nothing [...]

A couple days ago a co-worker asked me, “why don’t you drive a car ?” (I haven’t owned a car in five years) ……
Yesterday I started to leave the house around 3 but had to wait because cats and dogs started to fall in buckets just as I opened the door. The delay worked [...]

Good morning, everybody. Just wanted to turn you all on to a new book that spells out explicitly what every person of conscience knows: George W. Bush is a murderer and should be tried in a court of law for the lives he has sacrificed. Sacrificied for what we all know now was and is [...]

No, actually, I really don’t. The modern day version of conservative republican philosophy is reactionary, myopic and dangerous. A word of caution: be on the look out for Bush Republicans disguised as Libertarians. They haven’t the slightest idea what Libertarianism is (or they wouldn’t have supported Bush in the first place), they’re just ashamed [...]

I’m at work so I’ll make this quick. I read this interview yesterday (while at work )and thought I’d share. Douglas Blackmon is the Atlanta bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal and he has a new book out about the period of neo-slavery in the United States, otherwise known as Jim Crow. [...]

For a long time I’ve struggled in vain to express what I feel about the concept of patriotism. I’ve never believed in it. I can remember years ago while working at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, OH , after refusing to wear a commemorative flag pin for the 4th of July, my manager asked [...]
