The Greater Yellowstone Grizzly
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is planning to take the Yellowstone grizzly bear off the list of endangered species, perhaps before the end of this year. This is the beginning of a series about the issues surrounding the management of the bear in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
The Road
The End of Hope: Outside the DNC
What if you threw a protest against the oligarchy and not many people showed up?
Music by Laurie Anderson: "From the Air," Big Science.
Cleveland RNC Part 2
The RNC in Cleveland followed two weeks of brutal (YouTubed) shootings in America. Anyone who showed up at the protests was either paid to be there, like the police and the media, or they were for some reason unafraid of the potential for more violence. As it was, things stayed relatively peaceful, except for loud shouting at times.
Opening Day Outside the RNC in Cleveland
I went to the Republican and Democratic conventions in Cleveland and Philadelphia to see who showed up outside on the streets. This is the first in a short series of reports.
After Thinking About What To Do
In a few days I'm getting in my car and driving to the conventions in Cleveland and Philadelphia.

Trump and Sanders in South Bend: Part Two
Shortly before the Indiana primaries on May 3, 2016, both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders spoke in South Bend. In this episode I interview people waiting in line to hear Donald Trump.
Trump and Sanders in South Bend, Indiana
Both candidates were speaking in the same place, on consecutive days, just before the Indiana Primary last Tuesday. I thought it would be interesting to compare and contrast the two events.
My Trip To Palestine
I wrote this story as a way to overcome my fear of speaking about the Israel/Palestine Conflict, a serious problem for which we bear some responsibility. I don't know what the solution is, or if a solution is even possible at this point, but I'd at least like to not be afraid to talk about it.
