Massive mailing to college radio all over America for Sleep with You. Over 450 stations. In weeks we will know. 

Studying the Armenian genocide of 1915. Recently saw the film Ararat. Bas says, “Goddamn. Another freaking genocide. Who would have ever imagined that humans would do that to each other. There are so many holocausts. How do we keep track of them all?” It is something that we in modern times, as Americans, cannot even bare to imagine. And yet genocide is at the foundation of the very land we live on.. It is the heart of America. We founded our country in the name of genocide with the blood of over 90 million Native American men women and children. This coming Monday the new America, the modern America, will celebrate something they call Columbus day. For the Native Americans and for thinking and educated people all over the world it will be a day of mourning, as it is every year. Not just for all the lost lives and the needless suffering—and indeed this is a mourning we will never be able to escape in our hearts, because we live here---but we will also mourn the loss of our honor as Americans as we do every year, as the lies of the genocide of the native Americans continue to be perpetrated by the deceptive and cowardly and ignorant men and women who live among us still. But I will say this. One day things will change. Those who know, whose hearts are pure and without deceit, will not have to live in a world of lies and half truths and trickery. One day real honor and justice and caring will prevail among human beings. For me it is more than a mere hope or wish or prayer. It is a vision. I can see it. I know it is our future.
