Reply #12: Good piece [View All]

A couple years back when just a few of us were protesting here in New Orleans, I and a group of musicians gave a free performance called "Peace Sundays" that never materialised into a regular gig (though I tried to no avail). After I performed, I found a scrap of paper on the ground that turned out to be a Truthout article by you. To the chagrin of my friends, I ignored their adulations and sat down to read your piece. I discovered, finally after such a long time, someone that speaks to me and for me with eloquence and integrity.

Many times I thought about registering at DU just to pay you a compliment and thank you for your work. Well, yesterday after reading a post by mopaul about rebels (I claim to be one myself), I felt compelled to "come home." My abstinence from speaking and posting on DU is partly due to your speaking so well for me, and my abysmal typing skills.

Let me thank you, from the deepest recesses of my soul.
