MLK Day March and Rally and Other Stuff

I'll be attending this year.

Here's a link to a description.

This holiday weekend I've been busy editing a movie about our family that we're going to give to the caseworkers. The big meeting is coming up soon. A long, long time ago, I used to work in the video industry, so I'm finding the iMovie interface is really easy. It's still going to be a lot of hard work just cataloging the clips. I'm going to be so sick of looking at myself by the time I'm finished!

Anyway, I'll take my camera to the march, film a little, and see if I can post it here later. No promises... I haven't even gotten around to posting Hawaii footage.

Finally, for those who are interested, I greatly expanded on my blog post about crime and turned it into a larger piece about racialization over at rachelstavern.com. The post got some very interesting comments from people who know a lot about the subject. Then the resident anarcho-capitalist asked me a question I have ZERO interest in answering (he thinks the solution to every social problem is MORE GUNS MORE GUNS MORE GUNS) but for those who want to see how Georgia's gun laws compare to other states, Georgia gets a D, Florida gets an F+ and New York gets a B+.

Ah, Georgia. If it weren't for states like Florida and Alabama, we'd be the worst in just about everything. Luckily our underperforming neighbors make us look better. I really couldn't imagine living anywhere else though! Maybe Vancouver or Mexico City, but that's about it.
