Chelsea Manning

[Aerows]

She stood up for her country, and was rebuked for it, but I will always consider her a patriot.

1. One rec?

That's the best we have?

[wild bird]

10. One rec from me to help it along.

I can only do so much.

[Aerows]

2. I can barely rec my own thread without it heading into the white zone

of .... ..... waiting .... oh, it refreshed. Probably just me.

3. BIG K&R!

[Aerows]

4. Thank you :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My pleasure!

Hey, did I ever mention how much I LOVE your sigline?

I do.

So much, that I wrote it down in my little blank book where I keep such things.

[Aerows]

7. I hope it inspires you

That would give me hope.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. It truly does.

I just love Lao-Tzu.

My husband has read him more extensively than I have, and we used some of his words in our wedding ceremony.

[Aerows]

15. Obviously, I love Lao-Tzu, as well

May your wedding ceremony endure for your lifetimes .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Well, we've been married 48 years, so I think we're good!

[Aerows]

17. My parents have been married for 51.

they past the mark and ate dinner, complained until I replaced the air conditioner filter, and went to bed. Oh, and fed the annoying cat that loves mom, and hates everyone else in existence.

6. K&R

13. Chelsea Manning was so incredibly weak that she

faced up to horrible prison terms, being stripped for hours, just so the truth got told about war crimes that were committed, and were admitted were committed. It's a disgrace that a soldier faces what amounts to absolute dishonor when she upheld her honor in the highest way it could possibly be upheld. If she is not pardoned, and given an honorable discharge, there is no hope for anyone wanting to join the armed forces.

20. "no hope for anyone wanting to join the armed forces" ??

"If she is not pardoned, and given an honorable discharge, there is no hope for anyone wanting to join the armed forces"

Heck - there's no hope for the USA if the "powers that be" keep punishing people for telling the truth.

That's just my Canuck observation/opinion though.

[Aerows]

14. It's hard to do the right thing

But it is easy once you do it. That's what my father taught me.

[Luminous Animal]

12. I'm with Chelsea. A remarkable brave and moral human being.
