I don't think those who don't think Cindy is helping anymore, are helping [View All]

[omega minimo]

or maybe they are..... nipping at the heels of greatness out of fear, yearning for proximity to the honest, simple truth.

The message of Cindy Sheehan, of the Framers, of all the Great Teachers, of all the Myths of America that refuse to die, of all stories of all heroes is:

It is us. Each of us. Alone. Together. Alone together. That's how it works.

Cindy is in or out of the paddy wagon and on or off the pedestal.

I would vote for Viggo for political office not because he plays King and is The Sexiest Man Alive, but because he has more of the qualities of a true leader and statesman than the current WH Occupant.

The heroes, the leaders now, are Us. A woman in a straw hat in a ditch becomes an icon. A handsome actor is a human being with the gifts of clear-eyed, unpretentious thought; unapologetically speaking Truth to Power, because he knows it is the most patriotic act one can embody. He knows that the System that begets that Power demands that we each stand for it, or it is done.

We come to DU looking for-- what? How is it that in moments of great stress the best and most relevant comes out on DU.... and in ten minutes we are running in circles pointing petty fingers and carping?

Let's take the best, forget the rest and each stand up, inspired and willing-- All for One and One for All.
