Quotes
Even in slavery, fathers were rarely sold. Children had a daddy in the quarters.
Buying and selling assets has replaced shovel and wrench expansion.
We are so much better than those we elect to sell us out.
Republicans reject every promise that doesn't involve blame.
Truth is large and transparent, easily translated into comparisons and analogies found from nature to physics, will include its own paradox and discovery.
Things false reflect a single position, stubbornly closed to curious inspection, argued in circles.
Prayers and souls ride the same train.
Workers create wealth and demand.
I think about Detroit. The houses are not longer fit for ghosts.
The GOP never praises what we truly lost; there is no mourning on their path of fear.
It is commonsense not to split your vote on an empty appeal that insults your intelligence and weakens your vote’s effectiveness and strength.
Herman Cain’s remarks are another attempt to marginalize blacks as incompetent and uncritical.

Thinking about MLK “Black is beautiful”, and rereading chapter 42 of Moby Dick,”The Whiteness of the Whale.” (on Google) Melville goes into the archetypes of “black” and “white”, first giving everyman Ishmael’s everyman opinion, then giving us a startling transformation by the end of the chapter to an epiphany about the demonic side of the archetype of whiteness. Published in the decade before the Civil War, it seems relevant right now.
I’m also thinking of Byron
,”S/He walks in beauty like the night of cloudless climes of starry skies. And all that’s best in dark and bright meet in his/her eyes.
It makes me think of dark faces, long ago, telling me stories by firelight.
Great post.
Love the pics. Very reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh
