Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle: Boys State and Helmet Laws

June 22, 2011

Boys State and Helmet Laws
Kevin E. Dayhoff  http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4473
Now how’s that for a combination. Allow me to explain. Today I will be part of a team, at the annual, weeklong American Legion Boys State 2011 citizenship-training event at McDaniel College, facilitating a discussion on the pros and cons of mandatory motorcycle helmet laws.

Perhaps when Dr. Herb Smith, my former political science professor at McDaniel, first asked me if I could once again participate in helping out at Boys State, I should have run for the hills or asked for second prize.

However, I cannot turn Dr. Smith down. Not only was he an invaluable professor for a number of great classes at McDaniel, then Western Maryland College, he has since become a good friend and colleague along the way.

I’m looking forward to participating in Boys State. I have been asked to help off-and-on for years. I’m in good company – with the likes of Maryland State Sens. Joe Getty (R., Carroll/Baltimore Co.) and David Brinkley (R., Frederick/Carroll)...  http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4473

James Russell Truthout: US Mayors Call for End to Wars and Nuclear Weapons

US Mayors Call for End to Wars and Nuclear Weapons

Tuesday 21 June 2011
by: James Russell, Truthout | Report  http://www.truth-out.org/us-mayors-call-end-wars-and-nuclear-weapons/1308677269

Mayors from around the country gather at the United States Conference of Mayors in Baltimore, June 17, 2011. (Photo: Monica Lopossay / The New York Times)
Peace activists won a major victory on Monday, June 20, when the US Conference of Mayors voted to adopt two resolutions that call for a drawdown of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and the abolition of nuclear weapons. Both resolutions also demand the reprioritization of defense spending, including the $126 billion spent each year in Iraq and Afghanistan, toward the needs of municipalities.
The group, which represents mayors of municipalities with 30,000 or more residents, has not passed such a resolution in 40 years.
Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) fellow Karen Dolan directs IPS's Cities For Peace project, which organizes elected officials and activists to take action against war on a local level. In a statement to Truthout, Dolan said...http://www.truth-out.org/us-mayors-call-end-wars-and-nuclear-weapons/1308677269
