BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

'There Is No Science': Geoffrey Canada's Philosophy - City Limits Magazine - CityLimits.org

'There Is No Science': Geoffrey Canada's Philosophy - City Limits Magazine - CityLimits.org: "If you're a young girl or a young boy and you have a healthy smile, I think there's probably less chance you're going to feel disconnected and run to join the outlaws because you don't fit in. I believe that. No evidence—I don't have evidence of that at all. But that just makes logical sense to me."

I want them to feel good, to look good, to smell good, feel good about themselves. And I think that's gonna help. It's not enough. …But it's a different model we're looking at when we're talking about these kids. What I want is for these kids to have as close to a middle-class existence as possible.
