Back into the Fray

After resting on my activist laurels of infrastructure support for a long spell, I decided to get back to it. Tomorrow I'll be directing a talking heads cable access show, A Growing Concern, with anti-war activist S. Bryan Willson as a guest. Tuesday I'll be attending a Q and A (with camera) of India's environmental activist Debi Goenka.

Might as well do something worthwhile while unemployed. May the rabble be roused. Roil in anguish and gnash your teeth conservatives.

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.”
― Frederick Douglass

Neal, why do you think we wouldn't want to hear the Captain speak?

Puzzling obtuseness of comment, at least obtuse to my reality, drove me to a google search leading me to conclude the reference is to a well known football professional scorned for selling out to $ and abasement in the name of marketing a seafood restaurant.

That's a whole other political nutshell.

But as much as I repel at the whole notion of sports and bravado, I'll wager S. Brian Willson would whip Captain Brian Wilson at an arm wrestling match and send him home crying like the pup he is.

The show went fine, nominal glitches, only a couple of self critical gaffes on my part. An Icon of activism. And hey, whadda ya know, a new book out, "Blood on the Tracks: the Life and Times of S. Brian Willson".

You're exactly right, but still why would you think that we would shudder at what this gentleman had to say?

Forgive my stereotypical perceptions that in general folks who lean politically conservative aren't anti-war or pro-environment.
