"We don't need no education...we don't need no thought control...."

Okay, so maybe I wouldn't go that far! I was a tenured professor in a past life after all.  And raised by a devoted Kindergarten teacher too.  I support all my teacher friends out there and have nothing...

I could dig a hole right now and stick my head in it, like our dear friend the ostrich OR I can choose to look through my rose colored glasses OR I can proclaim the perceived idiocy of a whole host of people I run across or read about.   Hmmm...None of these options so...

I have always been drawn to the Monarch butterfly.  When I first started developing a body of work in college, monarchs and dreams were some of my earliest topics.  I researched both for their powerful symbolism and connection to the psyche.  On screen, I attached the...
