“A man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, power-lines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not Continue reading “Edward Abbey – “A Voice in the Wilderness” “
Over the years I’ve seen and heard many bands, but ever so often, I come across something that borders on the super-natural. Kan’ Nal is just such a band. Originally from Guatemala, they moved to, and toured mostly around the Boulder, Colorado area. They describe their music as “Tribal Psychedelic Rock” Continue reading “Kan’ Nal “

A quarter century ago (damn… that sounds old) I was hosting a folk music venue in an area they call Chippewa Valley of Northern Wisconsin. One night I hosted a concert for Larry Long, an artist I only knew by reputation. At the time, he made his way as an itinerant folk singer and activist. He was a guiding spirit in a movement to clean-up the Northern Mississippi Continue reading “Anna Mae – Larry Long”
I will NOT make any further posts to SU after the blog application is ended. There will be no joy in it.
You don’t seem to understand that the blog aspect is what excited so many creative users about SU.
SU has been the web’s best tool for social networking. We have many long term connections around the world. The root of these connections comes from our access to the many ways SU users present themselves. This helps us get a sense of a person we may take an interest in socially. I know people who have gotten together with folks they met on SU. This personal connection is what excites us about the postings we make. You are going from being visually vigorous and exciting, to bland.
If I had been in the board room where your decisions were made, I would have fought against your decisions. It seems like the creators of SU have a great disconnect with SU users. You have made decisions that will do irreparable damage to your brands loyalty. I would have rather have you post adds on the side bar, in order to keep what we have.
I’m sure your repository of searchable sites and SU followers will quickly diminish after you implement your changes. The buzz out here indicates that people are preparing to make their moves from SU.
We are surprised that you have made such an ignorant decision. I have no reason to brag you up any longer. I’m sure you are on your way to becoming a memory. Gone from most favored status to oblivion.
On the first of September a handful of citizens started a sit in and protest at Wall Street in New York City. It has grown to thousands people coming form all around the country to continue a day and night protest.
It boggles the mind. The main-street press has managed to keep this story under the radar. What’s this bull shit that we always hear about liberal media. Liberal media would be at the top of the list, when it comes to CONSERVATIVE BUNK.

On the third Friday of every month, a small band of citizens gather at a noisy intersection in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to STAND FOR PEACE. Some of them are veterans of past wars and some parents of veterans fighting presently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They are there to remind their fellow citizens that the war is still on and still costing us lives and resources.

This is more of “WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.” One Wisconsin Now has a YouTube site with many videos chronicling recent events in Madison Wisconsin. Democratic Economics is probably our next challenge. “Together we can attain a common destiny… or share the consequences of an undesirable fate.” – Lefty Green.
