two ways of life
In the final days before the caucus the appeal of the various Democratic contenders can still be distinguished. Gebhardt and Kerry will “fight for you” while Dean will empower you to fight for yourself.
Perhaps most Americans want their President to do their own democratic duty perhaps most want only to “eat, shop and relax”. Joe Trippi says that the Dean campaign, on the other hand, calls citizens to civic duty. Which offer will find support?
The 18th c. American fight for independence provoked a minority of patriots to step forward. With a combination of boldness and luck they succeeded. So far the Dean movement has also had boldness and luck. It has also brought out true patriots who have the National well being in mind.
PBI on Sandy River
The
2004 Paper and Book Intensive program will occur at an OxBow but on Sandy River east of Portland.
“Now celebrating its twenty-first year, Paper and Book Intensive is a working sabbatical for practitioners and serious students in the book arts, papermaking, and conservation. Daily class sessions are combined with lectures, discussions, and shared meals, to promote unusual levels of exchange and inspiration. PBI 2004 is our opportunity to revisit the Western United States and some of the wonderful book and paper people who inhabit its rugged terrain. The lineup of instructors is stunning.”
