How rude of me, morning Ray.

My avatar is my one and only, but if you object to it so strongly I will remove it.

"Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind,

Whose breath gives life to all the world.

Hear me; I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.

Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice

Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.

Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes towards me.

Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others.

Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me.

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy

Myself.

Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.

So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

~ Jenney
I got another 5 seconds of fame this afternoon, going on air on the NPR phone in to suggest that James Browder should get out into the world and broaden his own experience.

The vast majority of the callers were opposed to Mr Browder's bizarre stance and the parents are trying to find another way to get their kids to the parade.

So far, Browder has refused to alter his view.

Regards from Fort Myers...........

I was listening to NPR again on the way to work this morning. They used my sound bite at the end a collage of calls, all condeming Browder's point of view. That means I now have 10 seconds of fame

Browder himself is now refusing to discuss the matter and has "moved on to other issues".

Chickenshit-son-of-a-bitch needs to look for a new job come election time I suspect. I presume his is an elected position.

The parents are looking to organise the trip themselves, good for them.

The other issue no doubt being trying to get his foot out of his mouth in time for election day. (School superintendent is an elected position in SC, I imagine it's the same in Florida)
