John, no apology needed. To get sick is human, to persevere divine… and there’s no question you persevere wonderfully…

Well perhaps you can enlighten us about what you would do about the issue of getting diplomacy to replace war.

Many don’t agree, but let’s face it. Norman made a great case for how nothing has changed in his lifetime (and mine; I’m 13 years older than he) and all we seem to do is tinker with process which doesn’t work. Hasn’t worked.

So, I’ve given up on much of that, and simply look after my basis first.

I do get a lot of flack about it!

Thanks so much for being here, Norman. It was a delight to have you. And David, we really appreciate you stepping in at the end like that, you’re a fabulous pinch hitter!

remind me again as to how many are on no fly lists, have passports, have means to become outside the country? I should have indicated /snark on my comment – I had thought to extend with “and lawyers fees” as well but didn’t. Please look at H-1955 and change the extent of a few words and see possible peril. Prisons can have no walls at all, just a list will do.

Hi Norman,
Sorry I missed you. I want to apologize to Jane, FDL and Norman because I was supposed to do the Book Salon, but I came down with a virus on Tuesday and cancelled only a few days ago. I should have been more responsible. Being sick is no excuse.
It’s a wonderful book!

If all the progressives; all the liberals; all the left of center Democrats and all the independents, and all the families of soldiers who are tired of Iraq, and against war would do it, they couldn’t lock us all up.
