Reply #13: Been wondering where you were.

"Baby let your soul shine."

Putting all the energy to work is helping me.

On Tavis Smiley's program today, he talked with religious leaders about the difficulty of bringing to light difficult subjects. Sometimes you have to say unpleasant things in order to get your message across.

I loved the quote:

"Sometimes you comfort the afflicted.
Sometimes you afflict the comfortable."

Wherever I am, I let my feelings be known: Kerry won.

But I am also glad this isn't a media frenzy. Cameras and film crews and their trucks everywhere would hinder recounts. Better a quiet storm brewing than a fierce breeze that blows away to nothing.

There's a spirit to everything, Will. The spirit of the American people was for a man named Kerry. They were persecuted by a smaller group for their beliefs - via the polling place.

They will speak out when you and I and the rest of DU speak out. You'd be amazed how people will have the courage to back you once you get started on a subject.

As long as you breathe, don't give up.
