war protests of yore....

ok, so.....this is yet more from the book i borrowed from the lbirary by anne lamott.....plan b.....i will buy this book when i am assured that having 2 childrne in college at the same time is not something to fret about......but i digress......anne lamott remembers in one of her pieces a man who stood, night after night, outside the whitehouse...with a candle....all alone.....and a reporter asked him...what he thought he could change by standing thusly night after night....the guy's name was/is a.j. muste......and a.j. replied.....'oh, i don't do it to change the country, i do it so the country doesn't change me.'

gosh......that was not what i would have expected....but the sentiment is so vital to the way i feel these days........dubya cannot and will not change how i feel about the way things should be......
