This is the marker where a man I loved is buried. There is a now fairly trite thing said at funerals about the dash. The space between the birth and death of a man.
Yet.
I look at this and think of the remarkable life he had. Wars. Joy. Tragedy. Love. Sacrifice. Politics and great wisdom.
I was fortunate to have such a good man in my life, much of who I am is because of him. RIP
A critical creative look at issues of Economics, Politics and Finding a Purpose in Life - Let's talk about it. I try to leave the woodpile higher than I found it.

10 Things Your Husband Hates
I saw this article today... and I can only say AMEN. Most women by the time they figure this out .. it's too late. Wise up.
"My husband and I spent many years in a miserable state. I'm ashamed to
tell you that this list is a result of some of the ways I was guilty.
Several, actually. I'd love for you to learn from the mistakes that I
made over the years".

Riots in Salt Lake City?
This
unarmed 20 year old white boy was murdered by police in Salt Lake City 3
days after Mike Brown was killed in Ferguson MO. The looting and
burning and protests by white race activists have been UM....
Nonexistent. There is an inquiry. The
family is taking action... in court. This didn't get much of a
mention on MSNBC. OR Fox for that matter. Melissa Harris-Perry reviewed
the 9 unarmed black men killed in the last ten years. She failed to
mention Dillon's death. I guess if you are white, get shot by cops, are
unarmed, it's doesn't count. Look, I'm angry about all this. BUT
every time someone is killed.. it isn't racial.. It's tragic. It's
wrong. It's criminal. I should be dealt with in court. Don't buy into
the race baiters like Melissa Perry who try to stir you up. Bad things
happen... even to good people. I don't know if Dillon Taylor and Mike
Brown were good or not.. they should not have been killed--- but the out
of control overreaction all this says really bad things about racial
politics in this nation. It also says much about our out of control
police force in the nation. Perhaps these two boy's deaths will have a
purpose in illustrating the evil that exists. I am constantly pointing
it out. BUT not just about race..it's not. BUT I guess rioting and
stealing stuff makes people feel better.. NOT ME
Why there is riot, mayhem and looting.
Lies, myths, half truths, distorted "fact", theories without evidence, positioning, inflammatory rhetoric, manipulation, misinformation, victimization, social realities of inequality all drive this. Knowing how to keep your balance in a storm of deception is more than most people can take.
I am impressed of the word of God regarding these things:
Ephesians 4:13b "united in our faith and in our knowledge about God's Son, until we become mature, until we measure up to Christ, who is the standard. 14Then we will no longer be little children, tossed and carried about by all kinds of teachings that change like the wind. We will no longer be influenced by people who use cunning and clever strategies to lead us astray. 15Instead, as we lovingly speak the truth, we will grow up completely in our relationship to Christ, who is the head".
Then it tells us what the result of being tossed around by myths and half truths is:
Eph 4:17 "I tell you and encourage you .. not to live any longer like other people in the world. Their minds are set on worthless things. 18They can't understand because they are in the dark. They are excluded from the life that God approves of because of their ignorance and stubbornness. 19Since they no longer have any sense of shame, they have become promiscuous. They practice every kind of sexual perversion with a constant desire for more".
There is a positive result of walking this back:
Eph 4:25 " get rid of lies. Speak the truth to each other, because we are all members of the same body. 26Be angry without sinning. Don't go to bed angry. 27Don't give the devil any opportunity [to work]. 28Thieves must quit stealing and, instead, they must work hard. They should do something good with their hands so that they'll have something to share with those in need. 29Don't say anything that would hurt [another person]. Instead, speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you. 30Don't give God's Holy Spirit any reason to be upset with you. He has put his seal on you for the day you will be set free [from the world of sin]. 31Get rid of your bitterness, hot tempers, anger, loud quarreling, cursing, and hatred."
IF the clergy in MO were doing their job well they would be telling the truth and not paving the way for lies. This is the truth. Yet what we see manifesting is exactly the opposite. Show me the manifestation of a culture I will show you what their theology is... and this is a failure.
More important if those leaders called and ordained of God in the culture, in the community, with a platform would dispel the myths, get rid of the lies, deal in this passage and get away from blaming, we might have a chance of avoiding greater catastrophe. I have doubts that much boldness and courage is left. I can hope.
Fakes and Fakers
I
know that the low information people think this is real, it's as real
as a go to jail space is in monopoly. When we begin to use courts to
conduct politics we are becoming a third world country, a banana
republic with strongmen throwing their political opponents in jail.
Welcome to Zimbabwe.
Some common sense
“These
looters and rioters do not need to hear from the attorney general that
criticism of Obama is race-based,” he contended. “What they need to hear
from this black man, in this position — the nation’s leading law
enforcement official — is that they need to stay out of trouble with the law.”
“They need to pull up their pants and finish school and take care of their kids,” Riley continued. “That is the message they need to hear, from black leaders and people in positions of authority like Eric Holder and Barack Obama.”

Tolerance is oppression
IF
we cannot deal with evil, mayhem and lawlessness in our own country,
what makes us think we can deal with the evil, mayhem and lawlessness of
ISIS who bury people alive and split a woman in two while alive using
two cars in Iraq? This spirit MUST be crushed, hard. BOTH PLACES. You
can't tolerate the one and condemn the other.
HORRID is what public education child abuse it.
IF
you are the mother father uncle aunt or grandparent of an African
American child you should be outraged. THIS is what your public schools
system and the unions have done to your children. African American
children in America are by far and away
the lowest scoring of any group in American on the ACT tests, Hispanic,
Asian, American Indian, pacific islander. African Americans almost
don't even show up on the radar. WHO DO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL UNIONS
SUPPORT??? DEMOCRATS!!! So what now. Just let them fall off the edge
of the earth or is it time to do something? MONEY won't fix it. We
already spend more money per child in urban districts than we do in
rural. Almost twice as much and the results are pitiful. VOUCHERS are
the answer. James Meeks is right. Competition in education. Let the
child go somewhere where they can be taught for real .. for REAL!
This from the RUSSIAN government.
I guess our stone throwing is revealing
how glassine our house really is. On another issue... seeing what the
Russians see on their news regarding Ferguson and all that has gone on
there... are they MORE or LESS prone to
be sympathetic to this cause? Will they cross the street to avoid
confronting a group of young black kids? Will they be pretty sure not
to hire these folks if they own a business? Are they more or less
racist than they were two weeks ago in Russia? If you answer that you
will better understand why and how the race division has grown in the
USA. I'm not sure we can come back from here. Actions have
consequences. These will last a long time and it won't auger well for
the African American community. I feel like all I ever did in the last
45 years to try to heal this has been wasted. Sometimes I just want to
give up. IF I want give up.. how much more will those who had no
empathy in the first place. For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.. and this won't be pretty. Buckle up my friends,
this is gonna get rough.
Spike Lee is a toad.
Remember how Bush and Cheney according to Spike snuck in
during the Katrina Hurricane and blew up the Levees? http://www.mikefrancesa.com/wordpress/?p=2804 Myth gets people killed...and most of the time it's people who buy into the myth that die.
War in Ferguson
No facts, no peace in Ferguson
Luckily for America, especially African-Americans, the advent of alternative media has reduced the Non-Fox Media's ability to stir up urban riots. Today, it's possible to get information that never would have seen the light of day in the 1980s.
In less than two weeks, the original version of the racist police execution of Michael Brown -- or "Big Mike" -- has already undergone major revisions. We were told:
-- Big Mike was the sweetest kid, he'd never hurt a flea.
Then we got the store surveillance video of him robbing a liquor store and manhandling the clerk. Perhaps Big Mike committed his first-ever crime 11 minutes before his encounter with Officer Darren Wilson, but it doesn't look good.
-- He was shot in the back.
At least two autopsies now establish Big Mike was not shot in the back.
-- He didn't touch the police officer.
This week, we saw the X-ray of Officer Wilson's fractured eye socket.
-- He was holding his arms up surrendering when Officer Wilson shot him.
That's at least in doubt now that a video of a Big Mike supporter has emerged, capturing the private conservation of an eyewitness confirming the officer's claim that Big Mike was running at him.
On the tape, one black man tells another:
"Him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran -- the police got out and ran after him ... Then the next thing I know he comes back toward the truck 'cause -- the police had his gun drawn already on him. The police kept dumping on him, and I'm thinking that the police missing ... but he kept coming toward him."
Some would say a private conservation, unintentionally recorded immediately after an event, is more credible than alleged eyewitness accounts by people who know they're talking to the press.
