A love note

November 9, 2012

To my progressives, liberals, radicals, and people seeking change, a love note: Why must we continue to look to other people/groups to make the changes we want to see happen? We look to our political party, or campaigns with people to “champion” issues we find important, or Nonprofits dedicated to social justice.  All of these […]

 “‘All voting,’ says Thoreau, ‘is a sort of gaming, like checkers, or backgammon, a playing with right and wrong; its obligation never exceeds that of expediency.  Even voting for the right thing is doing nothing for it.  A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail […]

I’m referring, of course, to TrapWire.  I’ve heard rumblings about it on the interwebs, but today was the first time I did a little digging.  It’s gross.  Here are some exerpts from the RT article that came out August 10:  Former senior intelligence officials have created a detailed surveillance system more accurate than modern facial […]

What, if anything, would change by people being able to see the billions of stars above our heads each night? What, if anything, would change if people got out in nature more?

and I’m pretty nervous about it.  Or rather, a lot of anxiety is arising.  I’m excited, don’t get me wrong.  But it will also be a very dramatic shift from the life i’ve been living for the last 5-6 weeks.  Just being in a house for a consistent period of time will be a trip […]

Since Occupy Honolulu began I have been ignoring this blog, and have spent far less time on the computer in general.  Funny how that happens when you’re constantly engaging in real life issues I finally have something to say about my experiences (or part of those experiences) so far… This began as a letter/video blog […]
