When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Soapboxgirls :: the soapbox "... [The RedCross] handed out these sandwich's made by local school children. I mean, you could see the tiny little fingerprints in the bruised white bread with peanut-butter and jelly. I looked at the woman eating in front of me, and when she pulled out the sandwich, a little blue note came out and in big, crooked letters, a child had written "I LOVE YOU," and drew a big sunshine and stick people. Okay, I just broke down again. All of the sandwhich's had little notes in them and hungry as I was I couldn't swallow that kind of unconditional kindness.:
This kind of story is so moving. I love New Yorkers!
