This is where I share the wisdom that a granny, as an elder of the tribe, accumulates in her journey through life. The reach of my mind is wide, and sometimes even a little deep. Sometimes, like Whitman, I contradict myself. Sometimes I wax eloquent. Sometimes I fall on my face. Why not do it in public?

Liberal Identity
My Liberal Identity:
You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

The Geneva Conventions are not quaint.

Whodda Thought? I'm pleased to show up at all in less than a year.

That was wonderful!
wow, that was so powerful!
Gee, haven't thought about Carl Sagan in years. Most impressive. Clearly this video was done by someone not afraid of their shadow!
Reminds me of the old Pogo comic strip line-- we have met the enemy and he is us.
Very thought-provoking.
Very nice. I wish they showed our kindness and love, too...that those are also small in this great universe.
Not only the only home we have ever known, also the only home we shall ever know. Science fiction would have us believe otherwise, but I've heard too many scientists say that breaching the distance between Earth and Mars is impossible for Man, or at least a very, very long journey, so a habitable world...even more complicated.
