I propose to be your next Governor of Indiana. Let me clear that I do not expect to be. I intend to raise no money and seek no endorsements. I intend to create a platform here in writing and also likely audio files for sharing. I propose this space as a locus of becoming. I intend to offer my ideas but I require your assistance…

Conservatives to Occupy Duty: Cities Must Heed Business Interests
In my local Sunday newspaper, the day of greatest readership (at least in terms of print circulation), a front page story discussing how one of our schools has adopted the “Artful Learning” curriculum continues onto page A-6 where it shares that page with the Police Beat and a large 4-color advertisement for an Ivy Tech Bloomington fundraiser that is offered under the subtle and savvy…
Scrape ’em off, Save yourself: Climate Catastrophe and Education
I saw this comment today on the FB regarding an Education article: “I think public education must be like climate change. It is much easier to oppose than to support.” Hmmm…one is huge and absolutely beyond comprehension and makes no sense to so many people; how can our puny ways alter a geologic process that seems so massively beyond us as individuals. Plus, there’s nothing…
Absolutism in the Face of Climate Disaster
What more can I offer anymore but anger and resignation. We are such petty creatures. Pathetic in unrestrained desires and petulance. Gaze upon the divine image in the guise of politicians and interest groups screaming about their twisted moralities. Dominate and exploit. Hateful. Climate catastrophe is looming. If there is one way in which I am hoping that the U.S. President is visionary it is…

Master and Commander: Can a Mormon Be Man Enough for the Murder Machine?
Today I opened my morning paper to discover a very large headline in the “Neighbors/Religion” section (we don’t have time to discuss this formatting decision, focus!): “Would Monroe County vote for a Mormon?” This was an unfortunate piece to say the least, and I said more in comments and I’d like to share both the column (or parts) and my take on it. But first…
Lemons for Lessons: Replacing Childhood with Business Ideology
Apparently it’s time to ramp up the promotion of the propaganda engine that is “Lemonade Day” in America. Today’s Bloomington Herald-Times offers free advertisement for this event and the Powers behind it in the form of a “news item” in the Business Section (which, really, is only advertising), “Kids learn with lemons.” Is it just me that finds the use of “lemons” ironic–hey kids, this…
Dogs Are Not People: They’re Smarter and More Communicative
Yesterday I skimmed a blog post by Jonathan Turley, a Georgetown law prof who is often on Olbermann talking about Constitutional issues such as our constant surveillance state erosion of civil liberties (“How the National Defense Authorization Act threatens civil liberties“) . He’s good, Turley. He makes moral arguments but always allows that the law is operated “extra-morally” (it can be immoral, amoral, moral, depending…
Politics + Interest = Liberty?
Can you discover your own mind in the below from George Eliot and D. H. Lawrence. I’m pretty sure we’re all in there somewhere. From Chapter 51 of Middlemarch. Politics and self-interest in 1871 and 2012. Party is Nature too, and you shall see By force of Logic how they both agree: The Many in the One, the One in Many; All is not Some,…
