A baby boomer who never wholeheartedly embraced political activism, yet always was leaning to the progressive causes. Unwilling to relinquish his country to the authoritarian conservatism that has risen to power over the last thirty years, he is taking on a more public presence to promote positive and truthful discourse. Less attempting to persuade ideologues, he hopes to encourage reasonable people to join in denouncing the falsehoods and misleading statements of any group or individual. He has faith that collectively the world has more decent people then corrupt souls, but the honest must not remain uninvolved.So a misanthropic recluse is speaking out.

May 1st 2011 was chilly and overcast in weather, but jubilation was predominant in temperament during the MayDay Parade, Ceremony, and Festival.
On May 1st, 2011, the MayDay Parade starts at 1 pm, the Ceremony shortly after 3:30 pm, and the Festival goes on all day at Powderhorn Park. Details are available at the website of In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre.
That collection of hats you have, could be thinned out and the vanquished placed inside some crow’s head. You really do not want to advertise for that seed line anyway, do you?
The artists heading up this section of the 2011 MayDay Parade express that “Our world is a noisy place, filled with sounds and voices”. With that they gather together a multitude of imagery and symbols. They are also the section that should see the majority of the stroller aged paraders, and their slightly elder siblings.

As I write this, about half of the MayDay 2011 Public Workshops have taken place. One Saturday, April 23 2011, session with two workshops; one at 9 a.m., and one at 1 p.m. remain. There will be workshops at 7 p.m. on the Tuesdays and Thursdays that remain in April.
Against our War making policies? Take you message to the streets. Join a murder of crows in a message of change.
During the workshops there are many ways to help. The section also includes people in black carrying signs moving among those in crow costumes, and that making of a sign is a one workshop project. Dig up that pithy quote and attend a workshop. It is fun!
