This is a conversation between two great minds, exploring the possibilities of creating a world in which the truth is told, compassion is more important than the bottom line and how we can make a contribution to that vision.
From the title page of my upcoming autobiography...
Some New Kind of Trailer Trash: Starting Some New Trail of Kinder Trash)
This is the story of Brad Blanton, a not so lone ranger from the quaint, antique American south, who turned out to be a rough cut but compassionate kind of Bubba Buddha. It's about how a poor kid from the hills of Virginia overcame abuse, ignorance and poverty to become a renowned psychotherapist, fervent activist, best selling author, pretty good father, bad guitar player and poor politician--and how he was, for most of his blessed God damned life, frequently, cheerfully alive and happy and in love and simultaneously extremely pissed off at a lot of ignorant greedy people for a lot of horrible and stupid things they did to millions upon millions of other people.
He lived his life as a dung beetle in the shit pile known as the United States of America during the time (almost his entire lifetime) its corporate capitalists took the lead in destroying the world without him ever killing a God damned one of them. So as it turned out, though he thought he had been brave, he was a coward after all and just as full of shit as everyone else of all classes that lived in that ignorant, powerful and poisonous place in the world where he grew up. He wants this epithet for his epitaph:
"I am glad for what I did with my life except that I sincerely think I could have saved a hell of a lot more of humankind and of the earth if I had killed more God damned stupid rich people."
