Fewer Secrets Please

We Need Fewer Secrets

The link above is to an interesting piece in the Washington Post written by former US president Jimmy Carter.

It has been a long weekend here - hot, sunny and filled with assorted music events. Both Roger Waters and The Who performed in Hyde Park and a Brazilian Festival took place on London's South Bank. The streets between were decorated by the Pride parades on Saturday. Last night it was back to reality with a meeting of the London 911 Truth group. Comments to come in later blogs.

Today is of course Independence Day in Amerika. As they celebrate what passes for their own self-determination, let's hope more of its people pause to consider the extreme lack of "independence" they have inflicted so many others elsewhere in the world.

Two quick plugs. Richard Neville has updated his site with a piece looks at ecology and the approaching oil/water crisis. Artist Caroline Coon has a new gallery at the Saatchi website. Also, that crucial songwriter David Rovics will be back in Europe in a couple of weeks for more gigs.

So, as I gingerly approach the backlog of mail and news ...

Later.
