bill of rights

With your indulgence, I'm using my blog-space today with some thoughts that aren't NC-specific, but ones that I hope will be shared with all citizens. Today is the 40th anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King's death. I remember the grief, shock and fear I felt that day when I first heard the news. Funny; forty years have past and that grief is still as strong today as it was then, but in the meantime, it has been tempered with words and actions.

Still, I long for A Voice that will unite people once again for justice, equality and human dignity. Perhaps, we are the ones we've been waiting for.

The Brock Log is down for repairs, so this is all new, all original material.

I'm sorry to say, but America is dead. Perhaps it was the Military Commissions Act of 2006, maybe the shelter given to a pedophile in the Congress. It could've started with the PATRIOT Act and certainly, the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq didn't provide a healing salve to the nation still wounded from September 2001.

Regardless of the mortal wound, the evidence is clear. America has died and it's clear who killed her.

According to the lawsuit filed at U.S. District Court in Denver, Howards and his son walked to about two-to-three feet from where Cheney was standing, and said to the vice president, "I think your policies in Iraq are reprehensible," or words to that effect, then walked on.
