About Me
- Randy Johnson
- I'm just a guy with a wandering mind, a love for nature, and an interest in politics. I'm intolerant of intolerance and support civil rights for all people. I'm against trickle-down economics. I'm against the neo-con ideals of might makes right, and privatization is the answer to everything. I'm for single-payer healthcare. I'm for raising the cap on the social security tax, so the mega-rich will have to chip in the same percentage of their income as the middle class, allowing all of us to retire with some level of security and dignity. I campaigned for Barack Obama because I believe it's time to shift the balance of power away from the fringes of fascism, and back toward the common citizen, or as John Adams (our first conservative president) called us “the multitude, the vulgar, the herd, the rabble, the mob.” Sorry Adams, but I think Jefferson was on the right track, and I hope someday his vision will be realized. If we really want to save this country, we need publicly funded elections, and a reemergence of a strong independent news media with the balls to hold our politicians to account once again. Walter Cronkite, Edward R Murrow, we need you now more than ever!
Hmmm, interesting "outfits."
ReplyDeleteWhat people wear and don't wear to the fair is always interesting. You can count on a variety of great costumes and free spirits. I sometimes hesitate to post photos of the O.C.F. because I don’t want to attract twisted knuckleheads to the Fair who think it’s a voyeur’s photo event. It’s not Mardi Gras or a girls gone wild party. It’s a family event for hippies (and hippies at heart) of all ages. It began in the year of Woodstock, 1969, and for Peace-nicks like me it’s the best three days of the year. Three days of humanity without the vanity, profanity, or insanity of folks like Sean Hannity. I recommend it to all my progressive minded friends.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy living vicariously through your lens. Thanks for taking us on your journey. This event at OCF is really celebration personafied. And here here to the comment about the girls gone wild comparison. I see it as just good clean uninhibited fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, and enjoyed the music while lookin' at the pics. The Kingston Trio made me smile...
ReplyDeleteHi in2food! Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you enjoy my OCF "snapshots." With your camera and skill, you’d have a field day at the fair. You have an artistic eye, and you get the essence of the event ~ It is an uninhibited celebration of humanity, freedom, and equality. I bet you and the Mrs. would enjoy an afternoon there. …Smiling at The Kingston Trio gives away your inner-hippie ;)
