Thanks for hittin’ #1 tonite DL! My cheeks still hurt.
Numerous friends are attempting interventions to jolt me out of my “assume the best” daze; most notable was this beautifully-worded plea from Bob: “Diane, she’s a creationist, for God’s sake!”
Like the holdouts in New Orleans, I so want this time to be different. To keep my little cave reality intact…to click my heels and be back in Kansas, where ethics and character live….
ok ok – maybe it isn’t “conviction” ….my last post evoked images of authoritarian leaders who had great conviction…or even W…
Perhaps it is “character” then which captures the essence of a leader (person) I can support …and by that, I mean someone who is indeed willing to sacrifice image, power, personal comfort to do the “right” thing – while also willing to change his/her mind based on reasonable principles, rather than force the “right” thing to be his/her thing.
James Joyce could do stream of consciousness!
