beliefs, which you or anyone knows my remarks are shorthand for; I believe
Rights matter, you don't.....I am a citizen of the United States; I vote
and I communicate to my elected representatives......I have had a PAC; I am
in discussion groups, some that matter; I help bring in political writers
and actors for major presentations which now, with Zoom go
worldwide........The Kerner Commission Report came back into print
because of me

Your cynicism, as I think I wrote, is a special kind of political
nihilism....

Take Care,
