I moved to Oakland in September of 2008, for a number of reasons. But it has been in Oakland that I really could see with my own eyes, and get to know a lot of people who were "in my tribe"--that is being black, and choosing to be "alternative" (crunchy-spiritual/queer/hippie/punk.) I met Ruth in Oakland - she is a long-time Oaklander.

And this sentiment can no longer be dismissed or ignored by a political culture of conventional wisdom that says it is impossible to enact sensible regulations of guns and ammunition. Indeed, my great, great grandfather Thomas Stehle came to this country as a gunsmith in the 1840s, so I understand how deeply rooted guns are for many people.

I now realize that people can have a great experience and have NO CLUE what other opportunities (return visit, membership, in-depth programs) are available to them. Reader, I was wrong.
