Style Weekly: "the politics of fear and a growing racial divide still cripple Richmond [Virginia]." Mayor Douglas Wilder: "a cesspool of corruption and inefficiency." Ninth most dangerous city in the US. The state claims that "Virginia is for lovers" but the General Assembly passed a law "which some contend is the most anti-gay legislation in the country." (Style Weekly) And don't get me started on Henhicko County, Native American for "land of the hicks." Now at www.richmondsucks.com.

Cindy Sheehan Solidarity Day - August 26, Richmond, VA 023

Larry Syverson was protesting the Iraq war even before there was one. With three sons in the military, he had more to lose than most.

Two of his sons served full tours in Iraq - the oldest, Branden, a 33-year-old Army tank commander who spent a great deal of time guarding the country's oil supply, and the youngest, Bryce, 27, who made dangerous convoy runs into Baghdad, under attack more often than not.

"...the quintessential everyman, he's a little bit of everything that we're all striving for... mostly the search for the truth in our lives. From poignant notions of love to our own inescapable lascivious tendencies, from mundane to the outlandish, on that journey we face tough questions, but even tougher decisions. He'll take you on his journey and back, he won't promise you enlightenment (who can?), but you can at least be assured of a good time. Thanks..." - boyzco
