I have now watched a Capitol Fourth from the West Side of the Capitol. All those children! And why not? They had Sesame Street in celebration of its 40th Anniversary. And Aretha and Barry Manilow, and a wonderful Rhapsody in Blue. Every year I visit the PBS spectacular as a way to connect to my early years.

Happy Independence Day, Everybody! 

Do you think the time will come when the Department of Justice will take serious note of the Bush/Cheney CIA records?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much time will you spend between now and the beginning of October to fight for good health care insurance?

Have you read any recent articles about BRIC?  Will you consider writing something?

Is it possible this recession is short changing children more because of lack of funds for schools  or for food and shelter?

Just where do you think the US should fit into the OAS? How do you feel about the SOA?


Have you read a book dealing with one of your pet subjects?  If so, will you share by reviewing it for the rest of us?

Have you taken the hint?

I'm interested in seeing some more of your well-written articles, with research and careful  explanation.  And that is what I hope to do myself.

Maybe I'll be inclined to tackle some better ideas on war and peace.  If I do anything on the moldy economy, I'll try to put people in the stories, as well as any solutions which come to mind.

Okay, if you think I"m getting too serious--all bets are off. 

I have now watched a Capitol Fourth from the West Side of the Capitol.  All those children! And why not?  They had Sesame Street in celebration of its 40th Anniversary.  And Aretha and Barry Manilow, and a wonderful Rhapsody in Blue.  Every year I visit the PBS spectacular as a way to connect to my early years.

In 1946 I sat on the grass at the Mall and faced the Washington Monument and heard Marian Anderson sing.  Was that the same time I heard Paul Robeson?

Is this a great country, or what?
