Vacation

I was sorry but not surprised to read that the Rohnert Park City Council had ignored their own planning commission and voted 4 to 1 in favor of WallMart. City Councils, not Congress, are the most morally bankrupt institutions in American politics. Much of the time town councils are staffed and controlled by the few who have the free time to pay attention to them: well-off pro-corporate lackies who worship at the alter of Greedyguts.

I'm off to visit Canada the next ten days. I'll be back on about the 10th.
