Send me a note to charleiebob@yahoo.com so I can see the moth picture and put you back in my address book. I usually use my msn account so if you still have that use that one.

Meg Great post! I was around in 1968 and remember the emotions well. I'm older and wiser now (and a little faded myself) but the emotions are only more intense when mixed with perspective and a deeper understanding of the games and the players. There is a sense of urgency now that I've never felt before. We have allowed so many layers of tapestry to be placed over our eyes and our ears that, though we must throw it off, we fear what we will need to face. Don't be afraid to get your hopes up, hope defeats fear like the dawn defeats the night. Once Americans finally admit to themselves they are sick and tired of living in fear, a fear purposefully and deliberately foisted on them by their very own leaders, they will demand better. If Obama can't bring hope and energy and community spirit back, someone else will. When we demand peace, when we demand justice, when we unite and refuse to believe the lie, the truth will still be standing right there, waiting patiently for us to recognize it. “It’s almost as if someone took the tapestry of recent history and washed it in boiling hot water until the colors ran together and faded, hoping no one would notice we’re wearing the same outfit as before.”

But then I never knew him personally so I could be wrong. There is a first time for everything. My personal opinion is that he was neither a good journalist, a good writer nor a good person.
