Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

From the headline I understood that the bulldozer (excavator actually) was going to destroy the building using fireworks.
I still can’t figure out how he made the excavator fall over but it made me laugh
Scared the operator, and made him back into a ditch.
Admire that fella. Unfortunately fireworks aren’t going to work here.
I expect he’ll be invited down to the station to discuss his conflict resolution strategy and mull over it and write a self-reflective essay for local public consumption. Might cop a few weeks administrative detention in the slammer without ever seeing a judge.
Red Tyranny at work. Just another day where you don’t get SWATted for taking a stand.
Probably an issue of his not liking the amount of compensation on offer for his house being Rachel Corried. Usually fair bit of graft and corruption around these land resumptions, but you’d still be surprised just how much pull established local *registered* (as opposed to migrant worker) residents have in terms of getting a fair deal out of their local governments most of the time.
There’s plenty of rugged individualists in China when their backs are to the wall. We tend to think they’re all mindless yellow marching robots because they’re not Contumacious like us Whiteys. They only kick up a stink when they really don’t like something — not on a hair trigger the way we mostly are.

Let the guy get creative with some det cord. I’ll watch that one.
