The Evolving Mission of My Walkabout
Over the past month, I've had to put a lot of thought into my motivation for this walk.
Explaining myself several times a week to friends, coworkers, and strangers has honed (and altered) my response. I'm walking from Boston to Washington D.C. for several reasons. Without getting too into the politics of it, there is a pretty severe disconnect between state and federal legislation.
As we've seen with "hot button" issues like abortion and cannabis reform, the federal government has a habit of stepping in when it suites, violating any tacit agreements between state and federal government or implied sovereignty of state legislation. That being said, there's also a pretty severe disconnect on the end of the American public.
