Friday night I saw Dan Hoyle’s one-man show about his efforts with move-on to promote Kerry in Florida last fall. It’s called “Florida 2004: the Big Bummer” and plays at The Marsh, an independent theater near my house. We learned about it from the paper. It further evidenced the lack of democracy in America. The most heartbreaking part was the African-Americans, voting for the first time, who believed that their vote would be counted, when in fact that is very unlikely. The most poignant was how we all believed we would spend this decade fighting hunger and addressing third world development, but instead we’re fighting for freedom in our own country, the most powerful country in the world.
The run is short because Dan Hoyle has to go to Nigeria on a Fulbright to study oil politics!
