These lands don't belong to fuckin' Bush and Cheney, they belong to us!"<BR/><BR/>(So, OK, sue me, those weren't exactly Bob Redford's words; they were just what I heard.)<BR/><BR/>TY!Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-38188032083922997992008-12-24T12:00:00.000-07:002008-12-24T12:00:00.000-07:00Hey there anonymous --- this blog has lots of info...Hey there anonymous --- this blog has lots of info about DeChristopher. http://oneutah.org/<BR/>ShugAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-50331944842547496442008-12-24T06:54:00.000-07:002008-12-24T06:54:00.000-07:00Hi all.

Yes, this is such an inspiring story, I knew when I heard it I just had to blog it. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I have this big 'cynical clock' just ticking away and it's 1 minute to midnight (much like the old nuclear annihilation clock the Bush administration has done their best to reignite). <BR/><BR/>And while I needn't delineate my reasons for being so pessimistic (the list is far, far too familiar and extensive to everyone anyway), I often feel I'm thrashing around desperately trying not to drown in the cynicism.<BR/><BR/>This story of what one person with a little initiative and a lot of creativity can do was very inspiring. He's push the hands of that doomsday clock back a bit for me. <BR/><BR/>Anon: Yes, I'd like to know how to express my gratitude also. (Thanks for dropping by, commenting, BTW.)<BR/><BR/>eProf: Welcome back! "Orwellian constructions"? Oh my, I had no such idea at the time of writing this, but thank you. I wonder what I could list it under in the Yellow Pages if I decide to go into such building trades business?<BR/><BR/>Fran: Talk about cynicism. Here's Bush supposedly concerned for his legacy (if we're to believe MSM) while he runs around the whole damn country torching the flammables he's spread to burn the whole thing down as some sort of reward to his cronies corruption club. Legacy indeed!Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-44322554905536716652008-12-23T22:38:00.000-07:002008-12-23T22:38:00.000-07:00Doh!

That is using one's imagination in the face of overwhelming odds (remember the cartoon with the field mouse giving the finger to the hawk as he was about to be eaten alive?) DeChristopher's action are on a scale to the cartoon. <BR/><BR/>I'm still thinking about your new semantics on uncivil peace, et cetera. I hope they get put into the mainstream of history. "During the uncivil peace from 1861 to 1865..." <BR/><BR/>Leave it to Dada to think of these Orwellian constructions.
