Dare Not Walk Alone

“The civil rights story they don’t show in school”

…We’ve all seen the text-book version of the civil rights struggle, the stock news footage of people marching behind Dr. King singing songs of freedom. But what about the price those marchers paid, the beatings and the backlash their community suffered? Black children arrested for attending a white church; black youths attacked in broad daylight for stepping onto on a ‘white’ beach; white students cattle-prodded by police for supporting the cause of racial equality: this is our history America, this is Dare Not Walk Alone.

Starving Elephant Artisans

Can your elephant paint? Watch this elephant, rescued from abusive treatment in Burma, now paint an amazing self portrait. You’ll be amazed at how his talent unfolds.

So touched by their horrific backgrounds and loving personalities, ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, “Starving Elephant Artisans” by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand.

What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Floating down a river on an inner tube would most certainly be a more enjoyable way to spend an afternoon (than watching videos on YouTube). But, if there’s no river and there’s no inner tube, surfing ‘the internets’ will probably satisfy.

More from Good As You:

This weekend in Topeka, KS, there was a so-called “Million *Fag* March” held in protest of the nearly two decades of rabidly anti-gay antics that have been waged by the Westboro Baptist Church. Here are some scenes from that “faggy” soiree:

Socially Acceptable - c.2006 Deborah L. Hord

There was a guy in corporate life who did not want to take a wife.
The photos in his cubicle were of his dog and best friend Bill.
The work he did was good, but people talked behind his back.
And, everywhere he went he felt the force of their attacks.

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. Deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

There is a woman, good and kind, who speaks against injustice.
She isn’t very hard to find. Just look for where the dust is.
She spoke about the truth she saw, and truth was all around.
They did not like the things she said and ran her out of town.

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. You gotta deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Remember when you were a child you heard a children’s story about the Emperor’s new clothes. They had a grand parade. And, everyone could see the truth, but none of them would say it, because they doubted what they knew, and they were all afraid.

They tried to be socially acceptable. They learned how to conform. They denied their own reality. They stayed inside the norm. They tried to be socially acceptable. They wanted to go far, socially acceptable, they couldn’t be the way they were.

Some people do not play the game or wear a false persona.
They try to live authentically. They are not well received.
The rules say that you must conform, and truth is not for telling.
Don’t let them break your spirit down. They want you to believe,

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. You gotta deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, you can’t be the way you are.

Socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. Deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.
