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.

From Re-Building the American Dream: Representative Roscoe Bartlett from Maryland just said…“Not that it’s not a good idea to give students loans, it certainly is a good idea to give them loans… But if you can ignore the Constitution to do something good today, tomorrow you will be ignoring the Constitution to do something bad. You could… The Holocaust that occurred in Germany — how in the heck could that happen? And when you start down the wrong road, it can be a very slippery slope.” 1 Student loans are not a slippery slope to the Holocaust. They are a pathway to the American Dream for millions of Americans struggling with the cost of higher education. Bartlett’s offensive rhetoric and ignorant attitude have no place in the United States Congress.
