Your point is so cogent and so important that I actually used your comments from the other thread and referenced you directly by name in my "updated" post here... hope you don't mind, but you helped me make the point that it wasn't all "sweetness and light" back then and that I probably ought to bring that into the discussion. As I said, every generation has their demons, but yet still have both the right and the need to speak truth to the powers that be. I think we could use a whole lot more of that today. It was just wonderful to see the reactions in Wisconsin to the heavy handed bullying by their leaders, and especially to that fool they call "governor". Although I believe the media did not emphasize the real significance of the demonstrations (and the media is a whole 'nother matter for discussion), it still had an impact that was good. Just look at the recall elections. Nonetheless I think there should be much more of that kind of activity toward this despicable rush to the right.

Again, thanks so much for your input on this... you've contributed a great deal. I appreciate you! :hi: :hug:
