and thank you. I had to take a break from the vitriol infesting DU Thursday. I returned yesterday, quickly scanned a few "greatest" threads and decided SS;DD, and walked away again. Waking too early this am, I began to very selectively read some threads and found this, and the linked "Negro, please" essay. Dare I hope that your diaries and comments will elevate the conversation and provide much needed thoughtful analysis during this crazy time? Please continue to bless us with your presence, sharing your talent and viewpoint. And my thanks to "cuz" MrScorpio for encouraging your plunge into DU.
