I can only hope that future generations can forgive us for what we have done. Keep up the good work Taylor.</p> Like you, I wanted to believe that W was up to the challenge.

ET, is that work available for download? I’d love to hear it.

I’m working on it. I’ve been thinking about having a web presence for about 15 years (!!). I’m trying to get a video of my Katrina/NOLA memorial piece and my commemoration of Iraqi War casualties on to YouTube.

Thanks for your interest!

Unfortunately, that handful can do a tremendous, disproportionate amount of damage. We have to focus on the fact that the majority try to improve life, even in small increments (he used bringing bread to the work crews after 9/11 as an example).

“…and do we have no racists in office in this country?” Yes of course we do but this comin’ outta the closet by a member of the Ken nest is significantly different and more dangerous and problematic for us in this country for several reasons.

1. This call for disenfranchisement and expulsion of racial and religious minorities represents a central tenant of the old Likud coalition and given the name of the party represented by these statements, will certainly be used as evidence of the “Z***ism a racism” charge.
2. Tax dollars from ALL Americans are goin to secure and advance the interests of these folks.
3. Tax dollars are laundered back into our political system thru AIPAC to support politicians who will advance the ideological interests of this Israeli political party and it’s larger ideological coalition.
4. And, finally, even in the racist USA, if a politician at any level came out with a statement like that, not only would it be the cause of his/her immediate political demise but it would bring down the party of that politician. (Don’t come up with David Duke and the Republican Party because Duke didn’t win his attempt at office under the Republicans).

KEEP THE FAITH AND OPEN YOUR EARS, YOU CAN TELL THE GOOD GUYS BY WHAT THEY SAY AS WELL AS WHAT THEY DO!!!
