TAL Vox Assignment: Innocents Abroad

Jul 25, 2007

Here's my tale of travel. It's been a favorite bar anecdote for years, and now it's time to document it officially. In Mexico, where the story takes place, they call people from the U.S. "Estado Unidences". Unfortunately, we do not have an equivalent name for ourselves and thus refer to each other as "Americans". That is how I refer to one of my fellow travelers in the story, but I'd like you all to know that I am aware that Mexico is on the continent of North America, and that its citizens can justifiably also be referred to as "Americans". For the sake of clarity in this story, I refer to them as Mexicans, and to myself and another from the U.S. as Americans. Hope that doesn't offend anyone.

My Summer Camp Story

Last week on This American Life, the theme was summer camp. At one point, they had some clips of people who had called in and told stories about camp. I was miffed about the fact that I'd somehow missed the opportunity to call in, but soon realized the show was a repeat. I started thinking about what story I might have had if I had been able to call in, and came up with this one. I went out into the woods with my ipod today and recorded it. Unfortunately, the recording skips, I don't know why. It is annoying at times, but I think that the story is still clear despite this technical difficulty. So, here's my summer camp story.

The town hall meeting on the Impeachment of Vice President Cheney was held at a nifty establishment called Charlotte Energy Solutions, which specializes in green alternatives to energy sources.

Cindy Sheehan was scheduled to speak, but anyone who follows the news probably knows that she basically retired from activism last week.

One of the evening's highlights was this inspiring speech given by Reverend Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus.

David Swanson from afterdowningstreet.org also spoke and had some great information to share.
