Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

Holding pro-tRump family accountable!



With great reluctance and will, I’ve finally been able to tear myself away from Standing Rock by promising to return quickly after I’ve winterized my camper.

Driving into Bismarck to stock up for my long trek home, I’m alerted and amused to see I’ve picked up a police escort a mile or so out of town – only one sheriff’s cruiser but I’m thinking in the future this could be a strategic action, especially if a couple more cars were added to make a small caravan. We could troll around the city, stopping at tactical locations like the capitol building, etc., diverting attention from the main action!!!

I pull into Dan’s Supermarket parking lot and lose the tail but gain an ally! A white womon hurries across the asphalt to me, introducing her San Francisco self, and letting me know her family saw my police tail and began to tail the police for me!!!

Then she told me that her family had been on their way to spending this coming week with her husband’s New England relatives but upon hearing they voted for tRump, she decided to cash their airplane tickets in and head for Standing Rock instead!

Now that’s holding family accountable!

She then contributed a much needed $40 to my rapidly diminished funds for getting home!
