Thanksgiving and freedom...
What am I thankful for today? I am thankful that I have a healthy son. I am thankful just to be here. I am thankful to know so many wonderful people. I am thankful for my family and friends who have helped me so much over the years. I am thankful for so many things.
I am also thankful that I still live in a free country, in spite of the efforts of this administration. Eighteen months ago I was having a debate over an issue on a mail list. It was on topic, but bothered some people to the point that they threatened to leave the list. They wanted pabulum. They wanted to avoid the uncomfortable. My response was simple:
"I am not sorry in the least that I may have offended the sensibilities of a few of you, if so good! A fear of dealing with painful subjects was one of the things that allowed a lousy former artist to build brick ovens in the 40's. It is what allowed a junior Senator to ruin thousands of lives in search of enemies. In comfort we will find no solace"
Keep you head up, but always watch where you walk. Don't let the clouds obscure your dream...mj
