Dean Wheeler from the Northern California Holistic Center was our first hour guest. Dean and others have petitioned the city of San Francisco to make July 4rth Native American Day. Dean told us that the day should be used by "Europeans" to meditate intensely so they can become "Indians."
He gave an example of "Native dialect" (basically saying things like 'many moons') and he did a "Native chant" (which sounded a lot like an Atlanta Brave fan) Dean says he'd like to be a Cherokee because thats the tribe most often mentioned in movies...Later on in the show Vernon Dozier of BelMar Academy discussed allowing kids to buy and play with firecrackers in the oft-chance they injure themselves by "blowing a hand off" or "shoving their face into a Roman candle" because then they may get a taste of what the "sting of battle felt like for the brave men (Women too, asked a kid at school. No, said Vernon. Not really) who fought for our freedom." Vernon said that when he was a kid his friend Chris Daigle lit a cherry bomb about 3 inches from Vernons ear.
When Vernon came to, he said he asked his friends where Daigle was. "They told me and I went and found him and...you don't really want me to finish the story, do you?"
