This democracy was not created or defended by politicians, those who accept the paradigms built by others, or those who speak loudly while carrying weapons purchased from the Bass Pro Shop to defend their own rights. This democracy was created and is defended by those who have let go of their own lives, hopes, and […]
When Iowa’s corn fields, heavy metal, tattoos, wild hair, pajamas, and whiskey lawfully outsmart, outmaneuver, outwork, and democratically obsolete Des Moines’ flowers, college degrees, fancy clothing, and sweat tea. #pain > #comfort
An independent force fueled by theological beliefs, philosophical ethics, and inner pain that can only exist while pushing the envelope and raising the bar in accordance with our laws. A force that cannot rest and is only satisfied once the people have been provided a view of the truth and what is possible when we […]
