    Random Recitals

    Such close observations of apes and birds and dolphins remind us that humanity is part of a great animal kingdom. All species within this kingdom differ from one another in significant ways, to be sure, but the kingdom does not seem to be organized on the superior/inferior hierarchy. Species are merely different from one another; they are not better than, nor more or less advanced than, each other. The core experience of all animal life is strikingly similar.

    Columbian Endorses Carrier, Probst and Wallace

    David Carrier

    Tim Probst

    Deb Wallace

    The Columbian has an accurate and strong endorsement for all three Democrats running for the State Legislature in the 17th Legislative District in Clark County.  As a former Chair of the 17th District Democrats and someone who knows all three endorsees, it is quite surprising to see a newspaper that endorsed George Bush in 2004 [...]

    Carrier – Benton Race About More Than Taxes

    Kayaker Carrier in action

    David Carrier ended last night’s election tally with a very respectable 47% of the vote against Benton.  Benton is an incumbent with gobs of special interest money.  Carrier is a newcomer to politics with limited resources and lots of energy.

    Why is Carrier giving Benton a run for his money (pun intended)?  It seems the tired old Republican talking [...]

    Joseph James Should Stick to the Dogs

    The Columbian has an interesting article about Joseph James today, candidate for State Representative in the 17th Legislative District (East Vancouver). Apparently James has indicated in his campaign positions that “Only 3 percent of us use mass transit, yet over 90 percent of transportation funds go toward mass transit. It’s obvious that the priorities be shifted to improving the many roads and highways [...]



    Kudos to Martin Hash and dissent for the Nominating Convention

    As the Columbian wrote yesterday, Martin Hash removed himself from the Democratic primary race for the 17th Legislative District State Senator position currently held by Don Benton.

    It is unfortunate that the “top two” primary system sidetracked his candidacy and thereby diminished the democratic process. This is certainly not how democracy is supposed to work. Were it not for that system, the voters in [...]



    Confessions of a Precinct Committee Officer (part 1)

    I don’t believe we are practicing any recognizable form of democracy in this country and here is just another example.

    Let me say at the outset that I don’t blame anyone for this mess besides perhaps a justice system that is more concerned about promoting a “dog eat dog” world than administering wise jurisprudence.

    I am a Democratic Party Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) [...]
