The Red Scares

We would all like to think that those terrible days of fear mongering are behind us, that we have matured as a society and that we can all accept the ones who are different than us. Look around. Fear remains the number one tool of the fascist. It's not the commies any more. We moved on to welfare queens, fags, latinos, and today's number one menace: TERRORISTS.


We need to take back our government at all levels. We need a Department Of Peace and we desperately need to take care of our people. We are number 27 in infant mortality at this point. That's not right.

                                                          We're better than this.    

                     Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.            

Good Guys

Hey! If the better translation of Jesus' claim is really, "I am a son of God," then he was pretty much talking the company line that the Buddha had laid down much earlier. Nothing in the bible says that he was married. Nothing says that he wasn't. He hung around with Mary Magdalene and he may have married her. Turns out that there is no evidence that she was a working girl. That was a different Mary. Popular name.

We do know that he didn't much care for the bankers of the day. He didn't think much of the rich folks who didn't take care of the poor, either. If any of the narrative attributed to him is close to accurate, then we might expect that if he showed up today that we might catch a glimpse on a local newscast of him sharing loaves and wine at a peaceful Occupy event. I truly doubt that he would have any interest in politics but I am sure that he would not approve of our infant mortality rate in this country or the profits made from war.

Be nice and help others, especially the ones who can't take proper care of themselves. It's not rocket science.

Woody Guthrie recognized the link between the historic Jesus and the social movements of his day. Things haven't changed much. Maybe they have and they've changed back. This was at the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okemah, Oklahoma, four or five years back. Let's change it again. Let's fix it.
