So, what about it Soolay Bruthah?

Why don't we collaborate on this thing. Your saying it's hopeless is no more or less true than it was say in the late 60's or early 70's. Remember those fabulous times? There was all them movements and the/we Baby Boomers were well into our perpetual adolescences and I know I for one of them had more or less rationally decided that opposing them was to iffy and scary and I would rather just seek my seperate peace: you know: either land in Australia or the Great American West or just outside La Honda or Half Moon Bay (back when us locals were just body surfing or boogie boarding Mavericks and had enough sense to keep it on the QT)
Anyway, my point is this: if not us-who... and if not now, well shoot we could end up waiting tables or substitute teaching and day laboring in our 50's. Hell, I'd rather go back to being not just a gambler but a professional gambler. I'm sure my card counting skills are not all that eroded. And I definitely have a feel for the machines. Know what I'm saying?

Overview Introduction

First of all this blog is an attempt to communicate with and recruit some of my best and lifelong friends to become actively engaged in a conversation about all the things and issues I been studyin' on lo these many moons, years, and gosh: decades now- regarding our culture, society, and politics... aka "Our Democracy" such as it is here in the good old US of A right here right now circa late April already 2007. From these initial and somewhat personal communications I hope this effort evolves and grows into something of a community, discussion, advocacy and organizing blog calling on not only my currently quite miniscule "small circle of friends" but Americans in general who agree with much of the gist of what is proposed and suggested here (and elsewhere around the Web, world, and nation)- to build an "Evolutionary Progressive Grassroots Transformational Democracy Solidarity" (EPGTDS) movement in the United States that advocates greater economic, social, and political Democracy at all levels throughout our country and society.

Just wading in and flailing away from this point...

Basically there is no point to hesitating or qualifying any further. One of the key points as I see it to the ultimate potential of blogging is it's simple and emergent nature. So, this effort and ongoing experiment is for me a combination "pro Democracy in America" progressive Democracy advocacy blog and forum as well as the beginning of an ongoing presentation of some of my lifelong work as a somewhat repressed and thus ready to explode wannabe essayist/writer naturalist- poet philosopher and itinerent adventuror explorer.
