Joe, you remind me of the first time I saw signs along the Interstate in southern California depicting people running across the highway. Just like signs cautioning drivers against cattle on the open range. It was surreal. I remember how it affected my gut.

When I said, Mick, that about everything had been said it is because to my mind it had reached the point where so many things today end. What do we do about it? There are a lot of issues that to my mind call for the people taking to the streets and it never seems to happen.

It may, someday. Especially, perhaps, if the Republicans stay in power after 2008.

Here in Juneau, Alaska, we are the choir.
