about me
6'1", semi-athletic build, rich voice, bouncing gait, gesticulating hands, booming & infectious laugh, curious, love synthesizing crazy ideas in conversation with friends, outgoing but comfortable with silence; inventive, explorer, creator, challenger...(psst...btw, use lime or lemon juice for deodorant. I been using it for several years now! It works! Just a few drops is all it takes!)
As a progressive who is critical of both the Democrats and the Republicans on a host of issues, but who can still tell the difference between being screwed a little vs. being screwed a lot, I am of course hopeful about the possibility of an Obama victory in November.
As a Black man always looking forward to the brighter day when racism and white supremacy are effectively extinct in the US, i am pleased about what the Obama candidacy represents on the symbolic and cultural level. Maybe a cr...

If you want to know a bit of what's wrong with the United States, take a flight. Definitely on US Airways, but I wager any major airline will do.
Last Sunday I was flying home to Berkeley from Frankfurt, Germany. The route was Frankfurt to Philadelphia, 2 hour layover, then Philly to San Francisco. I was to due arrive in SF by 9 pm. Plenty of time to get the BART train home to Berkeley.
On arrival to Philadelphia for my connecting flight, things seem to be running smoothly, albeit a bi...

the other day while biking home from campus i decided to drop into my favorite worker-owned pizza place, which happens to be located in a chi-chi part of town. (i.e. chi-chi = high rent, upper-crusty, expensive boutiques, and, in this case, predominately white)
i parked my bike a couple doors down from the pizza place. although i love the pizza there, i don't really like being in that part of town. too many reminders of how fucked up our society is. so the plan was to get my pizza and head...

Shawn - Or Solar Warrior Zero as I have come to know him - and I have been fighting an epic battle of good vs. evil for many years now.
His steadfast righteousness and superior mind make him a true champion of the masses, puny humans that they are. And I've come to respect that.
Despite the numerous attempts I have made to neuralize, vaporize, atomize, or otherwise neutralize him, he seems to come back even more resilient than before - EVERY SINGLE TIME... A quality that is getting harder to find among the forces of evil.
And although it is my intention to someday extract and liquefy his mind, I will always hold him in the highest regards.

Shawn McDougal is a Shaman for Social Change. A voice for the unheard. A peaceful warrior for truth and justice free from anger or fear. Ok, sometimes he gets angry but its a good ager that is chaneled constructively for the highest good of all concerned.And Although he would probably whip your ass in trivial pursuit, there is nothing trivial about the sacred path this man is couragously walking.
