Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.
Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy.

She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
