18. you're right about accepting responsibility
this is even more of a call to action ...without cindy our numbers need to triple...but there still needs to be a cohesive, intelligent heartfelt and genuine focus..cindy provided that...in a way that united lots of people together...i heard that joan baez was thinking of going...who knows it could be a rumor...but a coordinated focus for this week certainly as well as perhaps even next week needs to be created..without politics..just the genuiness representd by cindy..it needs to be orchestrated so that they cant figure out who to trash next..but with the same focus...im not sure who could do that as powerfully as cindy..simply because her agenda is clear...get out of the war...so i was thinking that if joan baez could come one day...and bob dylan the next..and barbra streisand the next....one quick performance for peace...no hoopla....simple, meaningful..doesnt have to be those performers but it needs some depth...politicians turn it into a political thing...so i think its wise at this point for their presence to not be construed as the message....the message is peace...there are about a million ways to get that message out....i just think a little creativity is in order which does not create anything more than what this is about....cindy has tossed the ball to us while she supports her mom...she deserves that we put our money where our mouth is...really...i was gonna pass on crawford...thought about it, sent money, went to the vigil, have talked til my tongue hang to the floor....my life is complicated...demanding...and needs attention...but you know what, im thinking that my life is gonna be shit if we dont turn this around...nothing is ever easy...even thinking that i could let others go to crawford for me......this is absolutely not the time for this momentum to stop.....
