A Nation Divided Then and Now
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 11/02/2016 - 10:32amDisagreement is part of human nature, especially in any society that values people as unique individuals.
Geoff was reminded of that recently when he and his sainted wife Jenna watched a reenactment of the Jefferson-Adams debates. Bill Barker and Steven Holloway, two scholars from the Colonial Williamsburg living history museum, played Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, respectively.
Occupy Carson City Demonstrations
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 5:33pmGet up! Stand up! with Occupy Carson City participants as we speak out against government failures and corporate abuses on Saturdays from 12-2pm. As fellow citizens, we will peacefully rally for immediate change on the public sidewalks in front of the State Legislative building at 401 S. Carson St. downtown.
We have music and plenty of signs; feel free to bring a flag, your own sign, and any musical instrument (small drums, flutes and maracas are nice for our short marches).
