[Winona Online Democracy] Thanks for your comments, Joan. For some of us who believe in a higher power, that very belief propels us beyond our own security, self interest, and world view to think of the interests and needs of others. Because of this, we seek political action, some degree of self sacrifice to enhance the lives of others, and faith communities that espouse justice and hospitality to all. If we earn the badge of a "liberal" in the process, it is worn proudly. Karen Fawcett ---------------- This message was posted to the Winona Online Democracy Project.
