Joe IS a great guy. That’s nice you got the chance to meet him. I’ve photographed him before at different marches, but we never really formally met. And you know, he was much feistier in his youth, but now, it’s true, he’s not like Fr. Euteneuer with condemnation of superiors. Still, if he disappeared, I’d be concerned.
I would have expected that if he were in a crisis of faith or involved in something unpleasant,he would have apologized and taken his licks,so to speak.
If it wasn't his choice then that would indicate that he was muzzled for something he said,or some group he offended,and if that is the case then those of us who are in this battle of good vs. evil need to know who muzzled him and why. I believe it was Sun-Tse in the "Art of War",who said that when engaging in warfare it was of utmost importance to know your enemy. I'm probably a little off on the spelling but it's close. In any case as the battle heats up it is important we do know what's going on and who to be wary of,as well as why.
Thanks again.
