Good thing I check your blog every couple of days, even over those many silent months :-)<br /><br />I know you've been "going through it" and I hope things are looking up.<br /><br />As for your parable, quite well told. You know, we just got done with Black History Month, and it was my observation through various channels that this generation, no matter what "race" they are, does not know their black history very well, which means they do not know their American history very well.<br /><br />Which means they aren't being taught very well.<br /><br />So keep ringing the bell and calling class into session, because we need it. Those who do not do a good job of learning history are doomed to repeat it. We are not out of the dark days, and many people DO remember the "past" and they prefer it to the present. <br /><br />Progress is always in danger of slipping backward.Walt Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604522233009023574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367480507310927754.post-58459599408076304932010-03-23T14:35:26.967-04:002010-03-23T14:35:26.967-04:00Man you write novels!

Everyone who rows the boat contributes it's just they rarely get recognized.<br /><br />I also think it's a great way to explain things. It make sense why people would see skates as unfair to them. An adjustment is being made but in the meantime we have to take advantage of it.FreeManhttp://freemanpress.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
