Rachel and the election

Rachel doesn't pay much attention to the news. Rachel doesn't pay any attention to elections. BUT!
This morning she said "Washington and Colorado legalized pot." I asked if she was thinking about moving, and she said she's thinking Colorado. Rocky Mountain High has a whole new meaning!

Obviously the financial community don't have much faith in the US . Dow Jones dropped over 300 points on the Wonderful news of Obama's re-election. Screwed, the US is screwed. Old dude I spoke with up at Starbucks (Sunny) for the last few months had told me the fix was in, Obama would win but a worse recession was headed this way. I believe it completely. We need a REVOLUTION!
Look back at the '60's and early '70's, revolution was in the air. It was a wild time to be alive. I remember it well. I went to demonstrations in Norwood, Mass. It was exciting. Bras being burnt, draft cards being burnt, people took a stand for something. We need that today.

Ah, the violence in Savannah. 7 people shot at the Coastal Empire Fair on Saturday night (about 1.3 miles from my house). No one saw nothing... Police are begging people that were there with cell phones to turn over the pics to the police. Rewards are being offered to find out who the shooters were.  Unlikely much will come of this, code of silence and all..
Last night just before 9pm, Bill heard 5 shots outside. About 15 minutes later I came home from school and saw a paddy wagon and a cruiser on 34th and Jefferson. Hope they got the bastard. This is just too much. If they kill each other off, then OK. But improperly aimed guns hit innocent targets.
