Somebody has to blow the whistle when white-washing attempts are made.

I'm sure those white-washing attempts are, themselves, attempted in good faith. "Let's all accentuate the positive..." But the problem then is, a lot of wrongdoing, wrong decisions from the top, and just plain ol' negligence and outright DENIAL have handicapped us and slowed our response.

And we HAVE TO face that, and, as you stated, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT - in November, if indeed not sooner.

WE can't be in denial even though our "dear leader" and his apologists and amen-choruses all have been, and in many ways, all still are.
