WHOSE STREETS?

I wish I could have had everyone I have every ran in the streets with trying to make a better world from the days Gay Liberation Front and the Anti-War movement in the 1960s to this year with Gays Against Guns and Rise and Resist, sitting with me on opening night of the Sundance Film Festival and the world premiere of WHOSE STREET. An honest look at what actually happened in Ferguson Mo after Michael Brown was murdered by the Ferguson police. How the community that actually lived there.reacted. WHOSE STREET is truth telling from the actual people who participated rather than a 90sec news spot. For me, it was the perfect film to see on the night before DTs inauguration. We can if we work together still make a better world despite whatever obstacles are put in front of us. History teaches that it is and has been possible. So to all of you in DC keep each other safe and know I am there in spirit. Here in Park City, UT home of the Sundance Film Festival, I will be participating in the locally organized WOMEN'S MARCH

Here you can learn about WHOSE STREET .....

Praxis, my dear, is the only real way to succeed in the culture war.

Praxis, my dear, is the only real way to succeed in the culture war.
Yes indeed there is a culture war going .. but you know that if you have arrived here. We suggest that you put theory into practice by taking virtual you and virtual ideas into the reality of real live physical and cognitive action.

MEANING: get up and out of your chair and do something physical in real time. OCCUPY YOUR BODY. Be physical.

The fuel is love, compassion and curiosity. Anger is a result of the repression of fear and distances one from compassionate change ... do the Che Che cha cha cha .. or if you prefer the Stiegler tango! or the Shulamith Firestone death metal raga!

PRAXIS is the action of putting into practice the thoughts, theories and desires running through your bio-magnetic, nerve sensitive self. Reality propelled by the friction of input/output.

Damn it, it should be fun !

I will share with you my interaction in the real world and the theoretical world and invite you to do the same.

Politics is an everyday affair. Politics is how we live our lives Every action or non-action we do is a political act. Culture is the expression of desire in public interactive way.

So jump in please.

Join me in participating in life. Making change starts with self and ripples out. Pop culture is where I live ..not in some isolated, white tower, postmodern, distancing intellectual thought or theory. Theory in practice is praxis . It used to be called dialectics .. still a good word even if dressed up in new theory drag.

Serious fun has it consequences including changing the status quo.

We are all at the same life party. Find the door you can come through to make PRAXIS a full time act of creativity .
