Driverless car can save lives

Men and Boys
by Leo Dangel
My boy has reached that age
when he wants to do the driving.
Near noon, as we go home
with a load of bales,
he drives the tractor, and I stand
on the drawbar behind him.
At a corner on the gravel road,
we meet a neighbor, a passenger
like me, his boy behind the wheel,
and we stop to talk.
While the tractors idle
and we discuss the moisture level
in alfalfa bales, I notice the boys
are taking turns making little pulls
on the throttles, revving the motors.
That power in their hands, they can’t
get over it, passing sly smiles
between each other.
My neighbor takes a sideways look
at what the boys are doing,
but we keep talking about hay,
pretending not to notice
so we don’t have to tell them
to knock it off.

Where Am I? by Richard Cecil
pfont size=”3″Beyond the waves that lap the sandy beaches br /my balcony looks down on, there must be br /no distant shoreline, only open sea br /that stretches toward the west until it reaches br /the sky to make an infinite horizon, br /which the sun sinks into with a hiss br /of surf as afternoon and evening kiss br /good night and sky turns on its constellations. br /The only sounds allowed besides the surf br /are cries of gulls and very distant swimmers br /and snapping flags so twisted by the wind br /it’s impossible to say who rules this turf, br /the Kingdom of the Endless Perfect Summers, br /which I move to every winter in my mind./font/p

Republican Party
Republicans have been on the wrong on issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church- state separation, consumer issues, public education, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment and tax fairness.
How can they be so wrong all the time.The conclusion is that, despite their cynical “family values” propaganda, the Republican Party doesn’t care about the American people.
