| Marinading Babies |
| 11.23.04 (8:39 pm) [edit] |
Grandparents are an important ingredient in marinading babies. I once saw a movie ages ago, before i ever thought i'd be a mom, and the one line I loved and always remembered was something like:
"Having kids is easy, just make sure you marinade them in love for about 18 years and boy, do they come out juicy!
The recipe calls for mom and dad to love each other every day so that baby is properly soaking up the marinade.
It always made me think, yeah, I could do that. It inspired me beyond all my inadequacies & neuroses in choosing to become a parent.

| What Now??? |
| 11.19.04 (9:29 pm) [edit] |
November 2nd was a dark day in our country. On November 3rd, many intelligent, creative and inspiring Willyburgers were ready to move. To Canada. Well, maybe Vancouver if not Toronto.
MoveOn is asking just the same question, What do we do now?
Go to MoveOn.org and click on "Future of MoveOn House Parties" on Sunday November 21 to attend a party slash townhall meeting to brainstorm the future focus of MoveOnPAC.org and what you can do since we have four more years to get it right.
=http://www.voterpunch.org""See how your elected officials voted"
I met the guy who created Progressive Punch in DC last year at the Democracy Conference Erik and I attended in Washington DC in November 2003 (when I was hapai).
Did you know that as Americans we do not have the Constitutional Right to Vote? (Neither do we have the constitutional right to education or healthcare . . .)
If we do not have the Constitutional Right to Vote, then no matter how much we reform elections, use approval voting, promote voter registration, stop unfair redistricting, implement electoral college reform, switch to instant runoff voting, any work towards a more functional democracy can fail or be overturned because we do not have the basic constitutional right to vote.
You can listen to a webcast of Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr's Speech on the Constitutional Right to Vote. He is such a great speaker, very oratorial, and it was funny because he had this great booming, baritone and he talked just like a preacher from a southern baptist church and was very engaging and without a doubt the best speaker at the Conference, but then once or twice he'd say in a normal voice, "how much more time do I have?" very politely.
Keep the faith and activate by doing, participating, speaking out, living passionately.
