Having said that I agree with your last quote which I think is very appropriate. Very recently there was a great HBO documentary about Harry Belafonte and all the good he has done in the world. I think that he did not attend the inauguration in 08. I think he felt there were some fundamental differences that he could not ignore and chose not to attend. My compass is that I think whatever he says or does he does from the heart and what he feels or believes is his business. Before I watched the documentary I was really unaware of just how much he has done for the causes of human rights all over the world. He said something interesting, he said after the civil rights era "we blinked". Interesting phrasing and very accurate. I think he is passionate about human rights and I have a great admiration for him regardless about how he feels about the President.
One of those fan Grrrls!!! oh yea.
