About me:

I'm a professional rabble rouser. No, really: I work for grassroots non-profits and my overarching mission in life is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. I do community organizing, event planning, public relations, website administration and database management. I live near "dead center" of US, crossroads of America, Oklahoma City. I am a pagan-Buddhist-atheist-Quaker, a pacifist, a Green and a "friend of Dorothy." Yes, I am everything your mother warned you about. Too bad I look like your mother, and she will never know how dangerous I am unless she opens her mind. ....

Oklahoma City Progressive Calendar

Who I'd like to meet:

Progressive politicians and activists, especially those succeeding locally so I can pick their brains and experience. As far as celebrity types, I'd enjoy a good chat with irreverent comedians such Eddie Izzard, Kathy Griffin, or Margaret Cho, or activist/artists like Cynde Lauper, Billy Bragg, Harry Belefonte, Angelina Jolie. Basically, people who are doing meaningful work for the common good in their area of excellence and enjoying their lives.

World Peace Before 2021A Child Peace Activist

May 18 2008 7:00 PM

Dear Peacearena: Thank you for YourFriendship. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil Kollist's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he performs beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. Bt all means, email Axil if you’d like him to mail you one of his free “World Peace Before 2021” bumpersticker or if you’d like to invite him to sing for your function. His email address is worldpeacebefore2021@hawaii.rr.com .Very best regards, Axil's mom

Always delighted to meet a fellow rabble rouser and politically progressive instead of regressive person here in the lovely state of Oklahoma! I think we are on the endangered species list here. :)

"ee-haw! I am a pagan-Buddhist-atheist-Quaker, a pacifist, a Green and a lesbian. Yes, I am everything your mother warned you about. Too bad I look like your mother, and she will never know how dangerous I am unless she opens her mind."

I love this! ;-)
