She looked over his shoulder
For vines and olive trees,
Marble well-governed cities
And ships upon untamed seas,
But there on the shining metal
His hands had put instead
An artificial wilderness
And a sky like lead.

A plain without a feature, bare and brown,
No blade of grass, no sign of neighborhood,
Nothing to eat and nowhere to sit down,
Yet, congregated on its blankness, stood
An unintelligible multitude,
A million eyes, a million boots in line,
Without expression, waiting for a sign.

Enough said

I haven't used this blog much to promote any agendas, but this just struck me too much. Ken Starr is an asshole and these people are so real. The whole issue of marriage rights is often in such abstract terms, but in the end the tide turns on things like this. These are real people with real families. Enough said.

This past election cycle I spent my righteous energies on BO's campaign. I sort of think I won't be as motivated in 2012, so Human Rights or Fair Wisconsin may get my time.
