Justice For The Rest Of Us

A middle-aged social scientist who started blogging to support social justice and spread the gospel of non-violence. Though it may cost me followers, I will criticize the left when we make mistakes, including resorting to violence when it isn't necessary. Cesar Chavez, who organized disenfranchised migrant workers and Martin Luther King, who not only fought for civil rights but for economic justice, exemplify the principles I espouse here. But make no mistake about it: I am a proud member of the left.

On a personal note, I love Siamese cats, and I'm addicted to baseball. As a public service, I post one cute animal picture everyday. Don't be surprised to see something about music from the 60s every once in a while.

Some call it co-option. I personally am jubilant that a coalition of organizations that would normally engage solely in the electoral process are training Americans in the facts of economic inequality and the need to use NON-VIOLENT DIRECT ACTION to achieve our aims. This effort is no small thing — it means many people following in the footsteps of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez.
