Read Behind Blue Eyes NOW

Rate: 5 Flag

So, I am so moved by Behind Blue Eyes post, "How does all that Hope and Change taste NOW?" that I am referring you all to read it via my blog.

He says what I think.  As we listen to our President Obama on Wed. evening, I wish most of you could be armed with BBEs passionate call - listen with your heart and mind, then ask yourself what it all means to YOU.

I think he is right in calling for a new and different system altogether, one where the people's desires are made real.  Where we don't practice war no more.  Where we care for each other.  All of us.

Don't forget to look at the photos, either.  Stuff you've never seen?  Well, it's only a beginning.

Read Howard Zinn's 'A People's History of the United States.'   Rent the DVD of 'An Inconvenient Man' about Ralph Nader.  Read anything or rent any of the DVD's about Noam Chomsky.

It's late, and I hope I can steer more folks to BBEs blog.....  Thanks for reading!

okay. Behind Blue Eyes is a rascal.
BBE reminds me of Turks Turban.
It's a vegetable squash looking cap.
It's red, white, speckled green cute.
The media need pies tossed in face.
A winter squash makes great soups.
Great post Zinn and Chomsky are both on my blog.

An Inconvenient Man is available via Netflix for instant viewing. So is Taxi to the Darkside.
So is Johnny Got His Gun - finally! (for any of you pro-war types out there)
went there and waxed on and on and now feeling burnt out.... Thanks for the inclusion.
I read BBE's post. I think he puts out there a lot of what people are thinking right now. The people need to channel that anger and diappointment into something that is truly transformative and not continuously set their sights on voting ourselves out of this horrific empire. Thanks
