This past year Paul and I have been studying the lives of John and Abigail Adams. We listened to portions of the Biography by David McCullough on CD, and both read the bio Abigail and John, Portrait of a Marriage.
Â
I’ve been waiting for the HBO Film to be available at the library, it always is on hold. And today Paul brought it home to me. Tonight I watched the first and second sections. It was absolutely riveting.
Â
So timely to the times in which we are living with tyrannies of every kind blustering and bullying the people.
Â
It’s time for a second American Revolution.
If you would know what Copenhagen is all about, hearken to this nugget in the Washington Post’s report from the Danish capital:
“Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenari – who is representing all of Africa here – unveiled his proposal Wednesday for a system in which rich countries would provide money to poor ones to help deal with the effects of climate change. …
“Zenawi said he would accept $30 billion in the short term, rising to $100 billion by 2020. … This was seen as a key concession by developing countries, which had previously spurned that figure … as too low.”
There was a time when a U.S. diplomat would have burst out laughing after listening to a Third World con artist like this.
I won’t be blogging today or friday in order to support CJ and all of the Military Bloggers who are increasingly being smooshed and silenced.
