Marin County Tea Party

 There was an event in Marin County last Sunday, March 7 in Mill Valley in the afternoon at the town Rec Center. I went there with my video camera to see what was up. The local paper wrote it up both before the event and after. Before the event there was an interesting story that included a woman's opinion that it shouldn't be held as she thought there was something 'seditious' about the goings on. 

  The event was not really a Tea Party event I would say. It was an opportunity for conservative

organizations and a variety of candidates for office to set up tables and meet people. Mostly I didn't find too much at the at the tables to interest me. I am not for ROTC in High Schools. NOt for a world that thinks enjoying driving your Hummer on Earth Day is great fun. It doesn't upset me, it doesn't shock me, it doesn't interest me. I think the separation of Church and State should be held up as a Sacred guarantee against government and religious tyranny. It didn't exactly seem like I was with 'my' people whatever that means, probably I mean the folks having a cigarette (I don't smoke) or a drink out on Peri's or 19 Broadway's patio.

   I went searching to see if I could find out what the Tea Party is and why or how a frequent Tree Hugger (a good pat works, touch some rough bark, maybe a high five to a Redwood or a Buckeye any tree will do) like me thinks I belong. I found some inspiration and did find some people I feel a good affinity with. I believe there maybe a video clip up as ASAP.

... as soon as I finally finish up the Adventures in Biodiesel Video that is so painfully long overdue. A fascinating piece of cinema verite if I do say so myself or as Bill Belichik would say 'It is what it is.' Another example of why thank God I am not a candidate for any public office anywhere. Get it done Guy. Two fresh clips are up with maybe just two or three more clips. Then maybe Tom will invite me out to Virginia again where we can do something fresh again and not wait 1 and 1/2 years for completion.
