--a wave of fear I can't get rid of not only at airports but every time I descend into the Metro or ride on Amtrak through that dark tunnel that separates New Jersey from New York.
If WikiL is doing something about that, homage to them. Don't tell a soul, even us progs, til the deed has been done and the "free world" is truly free, and the press becomes the fourth branch of our government again. Those governments most transparent are also the best in many other ways; [there is a] "striking correlation between press freedom and countries known for their quality of life." [quote from here]
Shall the truth set us free or force us to self-immolate?
Shall the martyrs self-immolate while setting the rest of us free?
Then a fifth figure on Mt. Rushmore will be more than justified, not Ronald Reagan of Iran-Contra infamy (who, like Nixon, didn't know a thing about it but got away with "ignorance," which is so fashionable these days).
I expect a barrage of rotten fruit for this entry, but life will go on and all comments are most welcome.
We do have freedom of the press on our websites, for now. Let's pray it continues and we don't have to endure body searches before reaching the people who need to know, who need to trust, who need to face the truth And act on it,
like those brave souls who stood in front of the White House yesterday until carted off to the slammer.
Glad and unafraid, they smiled--paraphrase of a song I learned in Sunday School a long time ago: "Heroes all, they smiled in pride/glad and unafraid they died"--guerilla fighters (I think that's the reference, the Maccabees) who won, like the Vietcong, despite their diminutive numbers. One mother watched her five sons brutally murdered without giving in.
Let's win, too, despite our diminutive numbers.
In other words, WikiL, Encore and more!!
