Rally to Restore Sanity

Rally to Restore Sanity: "Think of our event as Woodstock, but with the nudity and drugs replaced by respectful disagreement; the Million Man March, only a lot smaller, and a bit less of a sausage fest; or the Gathering of the Juggalos, but instead of throwing our feces at Tila Tequila, we'll be actively *not* throwing our feces at Tila Tequila. Join us in the shadow of the Washington Monument. And bring your indoor voice. Or don't. If you'd rather stay home, go to work, or drive your kids to soccer practice... Actually, please come anyway. Ask the sitter if she can stay a few extra hours, just this once. We'll make it worth your while."

I am ecstatic…forgive the superlative. I just bought my tickets; departing Fairbanks, Alaska around 1AM October 29, getting into DC late that afternoon. Let’s, though, keep to the principle that in any social arena, a reaction against does not make a viable policy or direction. Yeah, my former governor is an empty caricature (and, as many polls up here indicate, an embarrassment to over 60% of Alaskans); but a return to sanity and legitimate political discourse needs to come from both sides. Let’s fill the place…all of us who simply wish for civility and genuine dialogue…and don’t take ourselves so seriously as not being able to laugh.
