I have this idea to depict local activists as a part of this "Prison Papers" series. I went to the town meeting that Representative Mike Michaud held in Belfast a couple of weeks ago and spoke and listened to others speak. It was all very interesting, stimulating and very well reasoned. There are some active and bright minds right here in Waldo County. I came away from that event feeling good that there are people within our community that are taking a critcal look at how our leadership has gotten to the state that we are now in. I don't think that we are in good shape. I think that our pursuit of a military solution to 911 has made things worse, and according to Michaud, he's with me on that. More than once I've heard a certain sentiment that expresses a intense frustration with this administration, to the point of wanting to "go back to europe" (that the grandparents left to come to America, the land of the free!)or a feeling of being held hostage to our war policy. Somehow I'm thinking that within this context I should include portraits of local activists within this series. What do you think Lucinda?
