40. It is good to see that...
someone is standing up to be counted. Bush has enough problems remembering that there are people living in the country he is the head of (except those who support him...and even then he forgets). It is wonderful to see that this man has taken up the charge to be heard instead of letting the man get him down. (I hate to use that turn of phrase but it suits the situation so well.)
