and next year a new round of sick chidren will be sick. and the year after and the year after that. what about them?

to badly bend the metaphor, let's not run down and save one of those kids, let's walk down and save them all.

it still seems as if the argument is one of strategy.

"...perhaps they've had a little too much mead..." that's funny. i can't remember the last time i was anywhere anyone was drinking mead.

so a few days ago there's about 8 inches of snow on the ground and we're wondering how we can get out there and have some fun with our one year old. he doesn't walk yet, and crawling around in about 8 inches of snow will be good or aout 30 seconds. so i dig up this tub from the basement and fashion a little tobogan for the lad to tow him around town. that night we go about a mile to some friends for stew and what not and then bundle him up and grab the dog and head on home. the cutie fell fast asleep. i won't be forgetting that anytime soon, neither.

i've lived in olympia, washington for twenty years and have never seen it snow like this. it's quite remarkable. one year when i was a kid in seattle, maybe nine or ten, it got really, really cold. green lake--a small, nearly perfect circle of a lake--froze over enough so a person could practically walk across it. bizarre. anywho, this latest snowstorm stuff reminds me of that time in seattle when i was a kid. i don't imagine i'll forget it. ever. know what i mean?

greetings mr seaton. i'd been wondering where you'd gone. your posts of late have been, how should i say, a bit boring. sure the doom, gloom and cynicism is still there, but it's been so watered down. glad to see you've still got it. {but really, rick warren? c'mon, you know that come a month from now this tizzy won't add up to a hill of beans.) so drop this pedestrian horseshit and get back to the mad max stuff. it's way more fun to read.

if racial equality were still at the fronteer of civil rights struggles, and warren, his church and some 51% or more of this country were openly opposed to extending civil rights to racial minorities, then yes, warren would be invited to deliver the invocation.

warren has been invited to deliver the invocation because among anti-gay evangelicals who enjoy a wide--WIDE--following, he is perhaps the most palatable. but make no mistake about it: waren will be there on 1-20-09 not in spite of his misguided beliefs about gays and lesbians, but because of them.

when president johnson signed the the civil rights act of 1964 he reportedly told an aid "we just lost the south fo a generation." i'm all fo that legislation, natuarly. but right now we're not there yet regrding gay and lesbian protections. and i hope when we get there, and we will, we will, more hearts and minds are won over ahead of time. to do that people have got to stop vilifying and start communicating.

i'm glad warren will be there on 1-20-09. i don't agree with him on much. i'd like to give him a piece of my mind. but gee wiz folks, why should i expect him to listen to anything i'd have to say if i wasn't willing to to listen to him.

etc etc

i think you're swimmig a bit upstream by making the case obama is saying it's okay by inviting him to do this job.

he could have gone out of his way to find a muslim or jewish person without anti-gay or anti-abortion baggage to deliver the invocation as well.

i think he would have. in fact, the Church that warren represents in effect said exactly that 45 years ago. warren was chosen not in spite of his views on a handful of social issues, but because of them.

for what it's worth, i had some tech. dif. with the post. as i was about to begin i hit something and the title posted. i couldn't for the life of me figure out how to edit it. moving on.

presumption of innocence runs deeper than simply how a jury approaches their task. journalists, for example, stick to the principle. the idea that everyone gets their day in court is a big deal.

that said, i did call him an asshole. i read some of the transcripts and the guy seems as crooked as a dog's leg. that's my opinion, which i'm entitled, yada yada. the trouble comes when the pile on makes it harder for the innocent to defend themselves. it happens.

kyle flynn Commented on Get on your Marx by David Seaton

2008-12-04T08:38:14Z

there are no old days, just these days. welcome to human life on earth. what is happening is what has always happened and what will continue as long as we fail to share our limited resources: 1--there shall be those with more than they need and those with less. 2--shares will shift with regularity as a result of force, cunning, chance, smarts, guts and will among others.

the titanic is an interesting analogy. on those occasions when the iceburg is hit and the ship goes under refer to 2 above to obtain your space in a life boat. keep in mind that the richest man alive at the time went down with the ship.
