Land Of The Free
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face It's just the old man in me Washing his truck at the Sinclair station In the land of the free His mother Adeline's family came on a ship Cut coal and planted a seed Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania In the land of the free Land of the free, land of the free In the land of the free Land of the free, land of the free Land of the free, land of the free In the land of the free (I'm standing crying) When I go out in my car, I don't think twice But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing crying) You grow up looking over both your shoulders In the land of the free We got more people locked up than the rest of the world Right here in red, white and blue (I'm standing crying) Incarceration's become big business It's harvest time out on the avenue Land of the free, land of the free In the land of the free Land of the free, land of the free Move on there's nothing too see Land of the free, land of the free In the land of the free I'm standing crying, I'm standing crying So how many daughters, tell me how many sons Do we have to have to put in the ground before we just break down and face it We got a problem with guns In the land of the free Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall Concrete and rebar steel beams (I'm standing crying) High enough to keep all those filthy hands off of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying) People who just want the same things we do In the land of the free Land of the free, land of the free In the land of the free Land of the free, land of the free Land of the free, land of the free In the land of the free Land of the free, land of the free Land of the free, land of the free Land of the free, land of the free Land of the free, in the land of the free (I'm standing crying)

Re: SP Donation to The Trevor Project

The Chair of Second Pride Lee McKay today posted on the Second Pride website (url) about the completion of the donation to The Trevor Project.

WooT! 

That's US$2.170 from the generous donors in SecondLife to the aid and assistance of struggling young people.

Float With The Tiny Community

The Much Honored Bock McMillan, the laird of Southern Charm etc.etc., is showing his support for the tiny community's struggles in SecondLife.

"We all want to be grounded", the laird says, "the struggle of the tinies is Ours."

And here is some good news on the matter shared by Inara Pey on Twitter

The Lab have actually found the root cause of the problem and have a fix, which is  currently with the Lab's QA team for testing. See Hover Height / Vertical Positioning Issue at: https://t.co/azFOkDQfcQ .

If you would like a set of stilts, please send me a message inworld and I will supply you with a pair. They are made for an offset of 0.4

I Will Float With The Tinies!

Yesterday I read my friend Ricco Saenz heartbreaking post Second Sighting: For hover height, Tinies gathered in a protest that was far from being tiny about the present struggles of the tiny community in SecondLife.

Today I have decided that I will sympathy-float with my tiny friends for one (1) month in support of their struggle. The only exceptions will be when I am taking part in a major motion picture production or modeling for one of the master photographers.

I am changing my hover height and making stilts as soon as I get into SecondLife.
