Thanks to a Hero of the Peace Movement

I was very moved by Cindy Sheehan's statement that she was calling it quits as the public face of the peace movement. Although my own activism has been minimal lately, it's easy to see that she is a woman of enormous passion, integrity, heart and determination, who truly sacrificed everything for a cause, for a nation, and is burned out.

I was lucky enough to catch Cindy's interview on Democracy Now Wednesday morning, which just increased my admiration for her. It is so appalling to hear the comments that these right wing commentators, and even mainstream Democrats have used against her. I guess twas ever thus - the cowards and apologists viciously attacking the very people with the most courage and integrity.

Anyway, I just wanted to write something about what a hero Cindy Sheehan, and people like her, are to me. I hope to find the inspiration to be more active. I am putting some links to truly progressive antiwar groups up. And I will be rethinking my membership in MoveOn, which I learned is sort of a mainstream Democratic tool. Long live Cindy!!!

I keep thinking of things to write about, but as usual, I'm not sitting in front of the computer when those brilliant thoughts occur. Now I'm sitting in front of the PC on Saturday morning and...

Well, I thought I'd note that we have been living in Boulder Creek since August of 2006. Loving it, despite long commute to Burlingame.
