Remembering the Unthinkable - Years Later
In an effort to neaten my documents, I ran into this lament, stuck in a folder all by itself. I can only guess that it was written shortly after 9/11.

Americans, Democrats & Republicans, Want Change
(2 comments) It seems Democratic leaders are hesitant to act as boldly as those who voted for them desire. Same might be said for Republicans. Maybe "the people" should work both sides of the aisle.
