Radical Illustration is not enough!

It is time to take off the gloves!....and hold hands? Yup, we need more love and healing in this world. I remember a time when I was young that people loved each other. I was loved and nurtured and given a good home despite possible circumstances that could have gone wrong. Love can really give us what we need to help us along the way. We should love each other liberally. Fear and prejudice are what makes for a society that has us feeling disconnected from our fellow man.

UNCLE EATS POOR!

Do we really understand poverty in this country? Do we know how to solve it? What are we doing as individuals to stop it?

UNCLE SAM EATS THE POOR

TJ Walkup Cartoons, the Homeless have every right to public space too!

Can you imagine that Bank of the West actually took a bench back after it was gifted to the public? Because people who were not "commercial enough" were sitting on it. That is the way the story that inspired this illustration goes. So some older folks , cute older folks sat at this bench "for years". So a sense of entitlement over the "public" space grew and they must have thought of it as theirs. Wrong. Then homeless also used the public space (tends to make homelessness visible), some one didn't like that because it is much easier to sweep the poor off the street than face poverty. Well when we look at this situation fairly we have to understand that although it is public space, not all people are given the same treatment in our society. Ok I love mature people, they usually have such wisdom and such wonderful experience to report and offer to their fellow man, this time they come off looking insensitive. If we are gonna work together in this world we have to get together. Bank of the West was the real culprit here. They need to serve the community better. Bring back the bench they took!

people should be better with the poor

People can be so cruel. Imagine if you were homeless and someone said "I'm Fine" when you were suffering? San Francisco can call itself "liberal", "Progressive" and some times even "compassionate". But come on! Next time some one offers you a Street Sheet you have to realize that that person is not begging, in fact they earn that little dollar by standing in the street and asking people to read this informative paper. I have to say the paper is getting better and I have found that it is a hot read on occasion. So buy it..it offers a man some dignity, and don't lose yours by snubbing the distributor wit a comment like "I'm Fine!"

SOON WE WILL BE RID OF THIS ADMINISTRATION!

OH THOSE EVIL DOERS!

IRAQ BUSH MESSAGE POLITICS CARTOONS DEMOCRACY

IT IS NOT OVER TILL IT"S OVER!

We as a people have to be proud of that fact that our "DEMOCKARY" is working. But BIAS because of money is a real threat to our ideal of how we see our selves. Some would say "love it or leave it" to my opinions of this country. I vote because I can and it is an act of faith. There is much to be fixed about our country and part of those fixes is a new president. Let us not forget the truth about what the Republican Party has put us through the past few years. We are poor, demoralizing and seen as an aggressive republic. We have a "War time President". What a miserable failure that we never removed him from office to save our democracy. Well there is new hope. The hope is far beyond just the vote. It is visible only from the hill of action. We must as a nation go there with healing in mind. We don't reach across the isle...we reach over to our brothers and sisters. No more lables...WE ARE THE PEOPLE! And guess what...we are in charge of this country. Not the Country Club "Good Old Boys" that we have in office now. We now need to protest the press when we think that they are doing something wrong. Show up at the places where the lies begin. The news stations. Ok this is dangerous for me I work in TV...but I believe in Democracy! I have no faith in the television business. I am not a "Rebel" I am a realist...a humanitarian.
