While I have sent my congrats off list , I do want to expand on the whole package you sent in this e-mail . I spent half of the night with it and it taught me what I had almost lost in the, what I call the moronization of the people of our country, -HOPE! Hope that with sensitive and educated loving parents who will and must care in what social,economic and cultural environment our next generation will live in, might even be able with their fortitude to turn the tide in the trend of this unbelieble hubris of a few in our government who with their arrogance and ill-fated calling by authority of a higher being and with lots of money at their disposal that could rather be used to reform the rotten healthcare system of ours, the worst of any civilized nation, have played on the political ignorance and lack of knowledge of the global realities of well intended people and used the fear factor to twist the peacemakers' real patriotism into a mockery going so far as to accuse them of aiding the enemy. Hope, that we don't end up in a Nazi Germany like situation where we were rallied around the flag in the name of the superiority of race ( a religion of sorts) and where Hitler took the first preemptive strike ( the nation was told that the enemy was ready to strike us!) and we all know the devastating outcome.- I got a ray of hope when I read Carrie's musings and the quotes she put down as important, even the funny ones that even "Jesus would have used the turn signal" gave me hope that the young people's sensitivity and knowledge of issues will offset all the garbage of our TV stations and the constant blab of the announcers, commentators and advocates of the cure-it-all pills. It gave me hope that we will use our global technologies , and we, as computer users know that there are no political borders, no distances in time nor space that keep us isolated , so we will have to think globally for the ripple effect will affect the whole of our planet, and I believe the younger generation will know that and hopefully act accordingly.- Thanks, Nathan, you little one, you helped an old woman set aside her cynic attitude for awhile and brought her to contemplate "Hope".
