I raise my bottle of kombucha.

Cheers lil, hope you and the radical rabbi are well.

The radical rabbi has been spending all his time stopping pipelines. He's finally sleeping in. I want to tell the kids marching to Tallahassee and DC that protest is over. They have to take some direct action. For example, who makes the AK-47 assault rifles? Anyone? Enough kids could stop traffic in and out of the factory. Except, the people in the factory have guns. Maybe that's not a good idea.

AK-47s are made by the China North Industries Group Organization or NORINCO. They have also become deeply unpopular with the backyard Rambos of North America. AR-15s and their derivatives, on the other hand, are made by nearly everyone.

You're right. Stopping gun manufacturing would be very different from stopping a pipeline from being built one piece of pipe at a time.

Direct action doesn't seem realistic. Consciousness-changing seems slow and legislation just as slow. Meanwhile, Trump has scheduled a "listening" session.

Cheers to the end of fossil fuels. Three cheers for the rabbi and those able to oppose such things directly.

Enjoy the sun and sand!
