It is all hockey violence…
June 10, 2008
Cheer at the altar of his fist.
A beer to celebrate blood on ice.
The enforcer whom you worship
would split your head and not think twice.
These are the heroes we offer –
often naughty, rarely nice.
you will know the truth by its actions
June 8, 2008
let the gods throw chairs
at each other
claiming truth
as property
shattering bones
in their name
while buddha sits quietly
under a table
until
May 25, 2008
until there are no soldiers
we have all died in vain
Iraqathon – an unhappy anniversary
March 19, 2008
Five years ago today the United States President and Congress invaded Iraq using Our military. Several months after the invasion I took part in a small demonstration against the war at the main intersection of our small town. There were five of us: my wife, my son (13), our friend Karen, our friend Leann, and myself. Leann, a Catholic activist from our nearby college, had organized the bootless foray.
Our small rally was peaceful and non confrontational. That did not stop many driving by from blowing their horns, giving us the finger, and yelling out “fuck you”. I wonder if they still feel the same today.
Free Tibet – not pave it!
March 19, 2008
The Chinese government has not moved closer to democracy. It has simply moved from left wing authoritarianism to right wing authoritarianism.
China’s enslave and pave policy must be reversed. Where is our government’s indignation? Where is our great freedom fighting President’s moral outrage? What is the difference between oppression in one place versus another? Or is this the way of globalization; forced consumerism for all.
Today I signed a pledge to Boycott Made in China products. I hope you join me.

Peace Is Free
January 27, 2008
You don’t have to get cleansed
cleared or confirmed
You don’t have to pay tribute
Peace is as free as your next breath
your next smile
