Kansas Sit In
I went to hear this speaker at the Union Hall last night talking about the plight of regular folk in Kansas. He described a situation that is bad getting worse every day. Despite their values and their work ethic, the rest of the country barely knows they exist. No one goes to visit or takes vacations there. And over 50 years later, everyone still thinks they're going to meet Auntie Emm or Toto. There's actually a high rate of depression, except the depression is rooted so deep, they don't even know it's depression. Psychologists and psychiatrists have examined many people and found depression, except Kansans don't think they're depressed. They just don't talk that much so people think they're depressed.
This guy's speech was the beginning of a campaign to get the word out about Kansas. I'm looking forward to hearing more. KaKa Kansas (kakakansas.com) is Kare of Kause For Kansas and they are going to have a rally next month.
