...'cause your dreams might save us all." This from a new song I guess recently recorded and performed at a minor league stadium concert Saturday night in Eastlake, Ohio where Mellencamp shared the bill with a couple of other guys I'm sure are gonna make it in the music bidness- Dylan and Willie.

And, staying for a moment with the Thomas Berry reference, the political activism and committment to the real core foundation sea change that is needed in our political, economic, and social democratic functioning is the first phase in "The Great Work" that is Berry's follow up volume http://www.allbookstores.com/book/9780609605257/The_Great_Work_Our_Way_into_the_Future.html and delves into the nature of what our real job is once we do the simple little chore of profoundly changing our politics and our entire economic model as it relates to our relationships to the earth itself and then by extension all liffing things- including all us indiginous people and critters- that are now considered collateral assets, damage, or nuisance to the priorities of the corporate global "New World Order" that has emerged and evolved in the last 30- 80 years or so.
(and is the order that the Neo Con nut jobs of the ilk of Cheney, W., W's Daddy, Reagan, Nixon and their bosses and sycophant lackey knee pad Tories (sic) like to tell us is creating the best of all possible worlds for all of us and is the source of all our freedoms and opportunities)
