RAINBOW FRIDAY
by Lee Stranahan
November 27, 2008

As I've written before, I lay a lot of the blame for the economy's current state on the giant corporations that run things. And tomorrow is Black Friday - when we're all supposed to be good little consumers and get up early in the morning, battle other consumers and buy lots of stuff. But from what I've seen of the Black Friday sales, they are lame, almost non-sales.

So I propose a new idea - Rainbow Friday. The idea is simple - people in online communities like this one just buy one thing from other people in that community tomorrow. It's US helping each other. Simple example - buy a copy of Bob's book as a gift. That's simple because we all know about Bob's book.

But what do YOU have for sale? Let's use the comments here to list stuff you sell. Anything - crafts you made on Etsy, music you created on CDBaby, services, ANYTHING - tell the other goddamn awesome people here about what you do and how we can buy it and let's all try to give each other a little shot in the arm.

5 ball combination shot. Impossible you say, perhaps beyond the realm of possibility? Nah... Cause he'll be stretchin' out those long tawny fingers, he's out across a cool green felt with a provocative golden gait and a pool table rail shot that's no sweat....as I leaned up against my banister... and the sun came crawlin' yellow out of a manhole at the foot of 23rd street as a dracula moon in a black disguise was makin' it's way back to it's prepaid room at the St. Moritz Hotel...

REQUIRED UNDERSTANDING: 911 For Peace

It's in the paper every day
You see it in the headlines and you feel so sick, yeah
Another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate
But short
Short on compassion
Short on humanity
Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock,
"do we even have a chance?"

I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human.
It's time to prove it.

This is a plea for peace (world peace)
To the oppressors of the world and to
To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers,
to the every day citizen
Greed, envy, fear, hate - the competition has to stop.
When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up
Set our differences aside and never look back, no

I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human
It's time to prove it.

Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the hatred? (hey, hey)
Violence... (hey, hey)
fighting... (hey)
killing... (hey)
dying.. (hey)
aaaaaah!!

[excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:]
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream
we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join
hands and sing
"Free at last, free at last.
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."

I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human
It's time to prove it.

We are all human
It's time to prove it.
We are all human...

[Spoken Word by Father Roy Bourgeois]
We can see our country at work in Latin America,
on the side of the men with the guns, the sweatshops, the IMF of the World Bank.

They’re selling war as peace

Doing it in our name
STRIKE! STRIKE BACK!
Tax dollars fund the war machine
STRIKE!
The people can’t live in its flames
STRIKE! STRIKE BACK!

"When I started this project I knew that I wanted to interweave the events in the courtroom with the events a year earlier. For the longest time I couldn’t figure out how to deal with the trial as there was no footage of the proceedings. I knew that I wanted the audience to “experience” the courtroom rather than hear about it, so that ruled out talking head “eyewitness” interviews. Since I was going to be intercutting between archival material and the courtroom material I knew that the characters needed to look nearly identical, which in essence ruled out dramatic re-enactments with actors in costume. Then one day I read a quote from Jerry Rubin where he described the trial as “a cartoon show.” It was so obvious. By animating the trial I would not only avoid all of the clichés of historical non-fiction, but I would also be able to make a statement about the circus-like nature of that courtroom." - Brett Morgen

Bill Ayers - SPOT ON!

"McCain and Palin demanded to “know the full extent” of the Obama-Ayers “relationship” so that they can know if Obama, as Palin put it, “is telling the truth to the American people or not.”

This is just plain stupid.

Obama has continually been asked to defend something that ought to be at democracy’s heart: the importance of talking to as many people as possible in this complicated and wildly diverse society, of listening with the possibility of learning something new, and of speaking with the possibility of persuading or influencing others." -Bill Ayers
