23. Oh, thank you!

That means a lot to me, coming from you! I am always very impressed when I read your contributions here on DU. You are definitely one of the individuals who raises the bar here. So, again, thank you.

Muhammad Ali used to say that people who don't expect miracles are unrealistic. I believe that. Rubin Carter told me that miracles do happen -- they just take a dog-gone lot of hard work! I believe that, too.

When grass roots activists say that they expect major changes, and are told to be patient, I can only laugh. It's the grass roots that does the overwhelming amount of the dog-gone lot of hard work that is required to win elections. And the Truth is that it's high time that everyone get a lot more impatient. We do not have the luxury of taking that old-fashioned slow approach to the many serious problems we face. We need to take immediate action on a program of change.
