Driving
into Atlanta Wednesday mid-morning, I pulled over on a busy street to repaint
the numbers on the back of the truck - 995. I’m in the city and there's no
wal-mart inside city limits supposedly.
As
I’m painting, a young man in a pick-up truck abruptly makes a u-turn and pulls
in behind my truck. He hops out and hands me a flyer he has made that
announces: "the truth about george bush's military service record". He
is very formally dressed in a tux and tells me he is on his way to work but
that he had to stop to give me his flyer.
He
is a former gulf war veteran, ( a disenfranchised descendant of enslaved people
and raped wimmin), and has never been politically active before, including never
voting during his 26 years on the planet. He is so enraged by bush and his lies
that he has made up this flyer and is handing them out every moment he gets
when he is not working. He is now registered to vote also - or will be as soon as we mail his registration in!
