Viewing Earth from the perspective of a tiny fragile globe hurling through space humbles and inspires all at once - but makes flag waving and joining in difficult. And so from age 10 on things got difficult. I mean if you're paying attention, even just a little, how can you not be angry? But how also can you not be inspired and awed. And so I write.

Tea Party
Sort of hard to tell where this Tea Party is heading. Clearly the media is inflating its impact and importance - but will that in the end give it time enough to evolve from its unfocused sort of kooky, racist, and confused beginnings into something tangible, rationale and organized? - seems to be the million dollar question. I'm pretty disgusted with Washington myself. Who knows, if this movement changes enough to qualify it space in the sane universe it may just begin to represent a movement for real change many could get behind - after all part of the reason Obama was elected was for his promises of real change in Washington. We'll know if its morphed and matured into something that could last and is real when Sarah Palin and far right ideologues lose interest in exploiting it. Stay tuned.
