The kind of real leadership this country needs is rising out of the turmoil as we speak. I've said it before, and I really believe it... we've got some real pain to come, but beyond that, sunrise is coming.
Sorry to hear about your incident. I can definitely relate.
Hell, my incident happened back during the Nixon administration. I guess it was just one of what Shakespeare called "the thousand pricks the flesh is heir to." Times were pretty tumultuous back then, and for a while after it seemed like things would improve. Now...well, I admire (and perhaps even envy) you for your faith in a better future. I'd like to see that sunrise. Take care.
