Octavia Butler Nails it: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to askto be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

Not Again!

Dear Senate Democrats, will you ever learn? You compromised on the last plan to keep the government open when they promised to take on affordable health care… Where is that deal? Now you are compromising because they promise to have a debate about ICE tactics. Don’t buy it!

I’m using my Sunday morning to email my elected officials. Killing people in the streets is not who we are as Minnesotans, midwesterners or Americans! I urge you to do the same.
