We all watched speechless last month as a nation stood up. Then we watched astounded in the weeks that followed as dictators fell. Today, we watch uneasy as a vicious dictator threatens not just his own nation, but ours as well. For forty years Gaddafi has ruled with an iron fist. For forty years he has lied to and oppressed his own people. The people of Libya are just like you and me. They long for a safe harbor from the world around them. A quiet place to raise their children and hope for a better future. We watch this week as the very fabric of our own nation is tested.
Libya has a government so corrupt they would massacre their own to remain in power. A man so destructive he would tell the woman of his nation that he will kill their children if they remain in protest. As I write this article 600 confirmed American citizens are trapped in a country that only one hour ago encouraged the people to rise up and fight all westerners. They are trapped in airports, hiding in bunkers. These citizens and the thousands of dual citizens are part of our nation. The majority of America is peaceful. We want nothing more than to focus on our very own issues. I find myself today bouncing between world news and democracy pamphlet design, all while writing this article. There is so much to do.
Mad Max & the Wild Ones are a family rockabilly band made up of Mad Max (Dad) and his three sons; Wyatt (age 18), Cole (age 14), Duke (age 9) and mom Angela as Band Manager. They love rockabilly music, old cars, old motorcycles, old STUFF in general! The family does almost everything together. They travel all over the country and even over seas to play music. They are genuinely amazing artists and humble people that we are glad to know. These are good people.
