Let Me Start By Saying,

My Parents Didn't Hide Reality. I Watched Cartoons And The News With Equal Fascination.

I Think One Of The Beauties So Far Of The So-called Spirit Of Seattle Is There Aren't Any Leaders, Pop Stars, Or Guru Figures That Everyone Else Is Falling In Line With And Following. No [nelson] Mandela, Havel, Or Subcomandante Ski Mask Riding In On A White Horse And Everybody Else Just Wanting To Follow Them To The Promised Land. We're Stitching It Together And Doing It Ourselves.

Especially In Local Elections, Because Hardly Anybody Pays Attention To Those - But It's Really Important Who's Mayor And Who's On The City Council, County Commissioners, Sheriffs, District Attorney, And Of Course The School Board.

I Got Involved Because I Wanted To Help Inspire More People To Get Off Their Butts And Register And Vote - Not Just In This Election, But In Every Other Election From Now On, You Know?

I Think There's Plenty Of Room, Even In The Most Serious Activist Circles, For Humor. Humor Can Be Very Effective Both To Inspire, And As A Weapon. Just Ask Frank Zappa And Charlie Chaplin.
