adrienne maree, the luscious satyagraha

today i'm off to engage in one of my new sub-careers - environmentalism. since the grist article (http://www.grist.org/comments/soapbox/2005/03/15/brown/) came out i have had countless offers to be a part of discussions on environmental justice and climate crisis and i am honored and learning a lot. this meeting is a coalition focused on how short a time we have before we're in a state of total crisis - for me i hear that as, what's our estimated timeline for the switch from the type of struggle we're facing now which is a struggle of people and power, before we're faced with the next common unifying strugglefor survival against the effects of our own excessive and stupid existence as itrelates to natural resources.  cheerful friday thoughts.

but some good news - bush's approval ratings are the lowest of any post WWII president!the american public is polling against his social security plans, are indignant about his tall tales of WMDs in iraq and generally feel untrusting of him. ah. the american people. always a little late on the uptake. but then again, national politics are for suckers, local is where its at (www.indyvoter.org).

in other news, my friend marc in the bay is a stalker and he sent me this: nndb.com is a huge stalking engine connecting all the "famous" people in the western world (for now) by cross referencing all of theircrimes, sleeping partners, affiliations, relatives, interests, etc- a person's otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examiningthe crowd that person has been hanging out with. brought to you by the folks at rotten.com (originally the backend for deadpool.rotten.com)
