Golden Arches

I just went to the Rachel Maddow show over on MSNBC.com to watch her latest video about the Bush administrations leasing of oil drilling rights in Utah. Suddenly, my Powerbook began to stutter like a bad James Brown interview. I went off track and plotted schemes to get a new computer. When I came to, I gathered my senses and became interested with the Tim DeChristopher story. There is an interesting oil drilling/activist parallel with Subhankar Banerjee who is in my film. Subhankar went to ANWAR and photographed the breathtaking aliveness of the place. A book of his photographs was held up by Senator Barbara Boxer on the Senate floor in a 2003 rejection by the Senate for drilling in Alaska. I expect to see more act's of civil disobedience like DeChristophers in the coming months and years.
