The novel had Juneteenth as a background. The work was patched together after Ellison's death and received "mixed" reviews.

Wasn't Juneteenth the unfinished novel of Ralph Ellison?

I understand your feelings.

I understand your feelings. It's often hard to consider these folks part of the human race.

What is sadder is that when human rights issues are put up to a vote (Gay marriage for example) , there is a stated public support for the idea, but the issue gets defeated.

Voters will state an understanding that education is important, but will elect politicians who demonize teachers and support decreased funding of public education from elementary school to college.

In other words, the uncaring jerk will likely face no political repercussions.

Oh I had to add this at least to your blog or Smith's.

Wisconsin U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde (R) says he is sick and tired of reading sad stories about people struggling in the recession. Instead, he wants to see the media focus more on the debt and the larger problems afflicting the country.

See I wish to punish this man. I mean I hate him with all of my heart and my soul and my mind.

I never even met him!

Larger problems.

The poor are being called irrelevant; the unions are barbarians and the middle class has nothing to do with reality.

I HATE THIS GUY!

And if we should meet I have no problem with him hating me.

It is just that you would think there would be more of me!

Thanks. I also learned something new today as well. I thought of Occupy Wall Street as a group of leaderless folks who decided to protest by going camping. The OWS website promotes support of the silent march and even lists the history of the technique dating back to the NAACP in 1917.

The websites tells those participating in the march to respect the silent march by not bringing noise-makers, etc. OWS is to be commended.

The combination of black activists with LGBT groups and OWS gives a good Sunday feeling of hope for Progressive coalitions in the future.
