Nelson Mandela 12/5/13




A day that started with fast food workers walking out, willing to work for a living wage.
It's cold here in Stumptown.  No pity.
Why do we believe it's ok for one person to profit off another?
That God shows favor by providing wealth? Who, what is love?  Not something all-knowing and everlasting in my book. Love is like a melting snowflake and the Creator is jealous, selfish, and angry and didn't make anything out of nothing.


Racial issues have been in the news.

I once had a complaint lodged against me for offending white men in a cultural competence training.  (It was rejected.)

Can we do any better than Hillary?  Why not Michelle?

I remember the girl who came to my high school from South Africa and wonder what she is doing now.
