Dear Daughter in Diaspora

"Black Environmental Thought Conference"  - oh my goodness, looks like we have a Van Jones, cool-aide drinking, American Communist Dreamer in the family now.  The conference purpose is to invite "outdoor enthusiasts across the African diaspora to engage in translocal and transnational dialogues about environmental justice and to develop an emergency theory of change".  Strange how I never realized that my daughter was a member of the African diaspora.  But I guess it is time for a new theory of change since the one we tried four years ago didn't work out so great. Sounds like the real goal of this conference is to implant a microchip in your brain that constantly repeats the following messages: "Plant collard greens, Vote for Obama, Russia is greatest country, comrades".
