Maybe the most obvious thing to say about the immigration protests yesterday and in recent weeks is that they're starting to resemble the civil rights movement; but I think it's still a pretty bold statement when you think about the scope of that movement and it's place in American history. What we're seeing right now may well have the same magnitude and relevance, and it's a little bit scary to think about how this will all play out -- watching the protesters yesterday and in particular their use of the American flag, I had this deep sense of foreboding about the fearmongering and xenophobia on the other side of the issue...
You're back!
Well, maybe. It's been a long time since I blogger here with any regularity, and a long time since I've really felt engaged by what's happening either online generally or in politics. But the plan is to get back to it, yes.
How have you been, Venkat? BTD has slowed down a lot too, although I've seen you posting there once in a while...
Yea, it's been tough. Life is well. I just quit my job and went off on my own! For about a month now. Check out my old URL (last name).
wow -- congratulations, that's so exciting! The site looks fantastic, and I especially liked the blog links section.
