I drop by the "community room" at the seniors center. Smug, well-fed, complacent 60-something woman is doing her wash and watching live feed from Iran on the tv.

Her: "Wow, that's something, that Iran thing. And now they're after Obama for not sayin' anything."

Me: "He could at least say 'good for you'?"

Her: "What, and start another war?!?"

Not everyone in the "Greatest Generation" is all that great these days.

I will participate in the demonstration...

Tomorrow is a big day. It may be my last day.I am writing these scattered sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and caught up in excitement. So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to despotism. These words are dedicated to the children of tomorrow …”

RRA,
That's sad. I know my mother (mid 80's) sure doesn't feel that way.

HRW,
Thanks for the info.
