Comments about life and living

Dana was a card carrying member of the Young Socialist Alliance(YSA).I remember him spouting Marxist rhetoric as early as fifth grade though none of us had the slightest comprehension of what he was talking about. If he had been a little more creative we might have played at Capitalists and Communists instead of Cops and Robbers or Cowboys and Indians. Is there really a difference?

I returned to my car at San Francisco Airport in the mid '70s to find a flier excoriating some right wing fascist racist bigot with authorship attributed to Dana Beal.

Dana had arrests relating to cocaine trafficking in the '80s. Prosecutions folded when it became clear that his suppliers were US Government sanctioned and assisted CIA/Contra Cocaine Smugglers. Corroborating witnesses are mostly underground, literally. You won't find that one in Widipedia.

Dana was always outspoken, blatant and usually abrasive. He always championed controversial causes.

Dana's sister Ellen was probably the first socialist elected to the Lansing City Council though she was clever enough never to toot that horn. She remains active in local community organizing.

I hope that the discussion might turn to how we can decriminalize drug use and develop strategies to actually rehabilitate and reabsorb some of the millions subjected to stupid drug incarceration laws while financial market criminals and government sanctioned drug traffickers of speed, coke and heroin never face prosecution and continue to turn our country into the land of the thieves and the home of their slaves.

Dana would say something like: STOP JUDICIAL TERRORISM
