Vive La Revolution





My sociology antennas perked up when I read this article. I remember something about Marx predicting that in countries like America, the middle class would assist the proletariat in overthrowing the government by providing the financial, educational, and leadership capital to do so.

While I don't think we can expect a bloody communist overthrow, I wonder if the declining condition of the middle class will lead to a bloodless democratic socialist overthrow. When middle class people are living homeless in their cars .... when the middle class takes all their retirement savings to pay their kids way through college .... when the middle class is bankrupted by medical bills....

Rhododendron is blooming in the front yard

Bright red tulips in the front yard too

I was surprised to find out that the ground cover in the backyard grows purple flowers

These are my favorite tulips

And I have a whole back fence of them

I went to a political rally of a

candidate I don't support....that's what this good wife does for her husband on our anniversary weekend.

Meandering around outside the Lancaster PA train station.

Trying to get a picture of Barack coming down the train station stairs.

I wish we had gotten a picture of the people who had train tickets and were departing from the train station. Secret service men were escorting them into the station to the train!

Calling all Gardeners!

I just picked up my organic seeds to grow Cauliflower, Broccoli and Yellow crookneck squash from Urban Roots and planted them in jiffy pots to germinate.

You always get like 200 seeds in each package, and really, I don't need 200 Cauliflower plants no matter how much I love cauliflower...so if some peeps out there would like some seeds, let me know!
