Matthew, thanks! I love the picture. Where does this come from? Still, I like it...

Back in the Stone Age, which you whippersnappers don't remember, this was called Radical Chic. Now, it's chic to be against the war, it's darkly chic to be an anarchist, and it's mainstream chic to be a Democrat. Ask someone the why part, though, and you'll get a blank look more than anything. Meanwhile, the doers go on doing under the radar. You get a second AMEN, Matthew, from me this week. And Jim, what's up with the cool tweaks to the comment options? The twitter thing is cool and the option bar for the comments box is cooler! Thanks!

Wow, I have been feeling old lately especially since I am turning 31 on the 15th. Now I feel younger because I have now idea what it means to be "chic"
I have been testing some new plugins and the comments one is from Ajax for WordPress. I am glad you like it.
Thanks,

What would William Booth do? It is time for the invention of the 21st Century Salvation Army. I know the original is going extremely well financially, but as I discovered actually working with the homeless, it has lost its meaning to current clients. Booth and his wife were evangelicals in London. They came up with the idea of dressing, and acting, as an Army, in order to attrack the young. Pretty girls with tamborines did not hurt.
Today, most of the Salvation Army Corp members remain evangelical Christians, providing services to the multitudes in our cities, muli-racial, multi-cultural and oblivious to the Christian nature of the organization.
The trick - new organizing, based in today's realities, attractive to young adults across cultures and with leadership provided by the base.
Revolution is never easy. Most of the true organizers were never thought of as chic, were also ahead of the curve, and did not care much about what the establishment thought of them.
