were the words my 4 year old son was chanting on our way home from the demonstration against King George's visit to Napa. On the way to the demonstration my 6year old daughter spent the drive trying to figure out ways to get Bush to listen and settled on a brilliant idea.
"Okay, we will offer to give him some of our Easter candy so he will listen. I can tell him if you listen, I will give you some candy."
"That sounds like a good idea. What do you want to say to him?" I ask.
"To be nice."
A reasonable request considering the number of US lives he has put at stake.
Earlier in the day Bush visited Cisco systems. Protesters stopped him from coming to Stanford University. This morning my four year old son asked if we could buy a megaphone for the protest in Sacramento. "I want to yell REALLY loud and tell Bush to be nice."
Now how do we explain the protest against the white supremacists? I have no idea.

This is unrelated to the specific post, but I just have to say:
I was so happy to find your webpage. I'm dropping out of the liberal arts college I'm currently attending to go to nursing school, and then go into nurse midwifery. Just... thank you for existing. Far too many people believe that midwives have gone extinct, and that makes me kind of distressed. What kind of education do you have, if you don't mind me asking? There's surprisingly little information available on the logistics of actually becoming a midwife.
this is somewhat related to your post.
I'm so glad to hear that an american family has the common sense enough to express their displeasure with the current American Regime. I'm astounded day in and day out by the number of people who genuinely buy in to the propaganda they are fed on a consistant basis, and honestly believe in the administration and its immoral "moral cause." Thank you for again giving me a small bit of hope for the future of America as something more than an Imperial state slowly marching the world to its demise.
I salute you.
