25. What a beautiful OP

Mon Mar 7, 2016, 04:53 PM

Mar 2016

I've never responded to one of your wonderful pieces but this one moved me. I was born after Bobby Kennedy died but reading the words that opened your post tells me how much I missed, and the heartbreak those who followed him must of felt upon his unnecessary death. I want aspirational leaders like that, and is why I support Bernie.

And you, as you always are, are correct about fracking. All of these extraction industries are an abomination. It's just the newest kid on the block joining tar sands, mountaintop coal removal, gold mining....etc etc etc ad nauseam. I am sick unto death of our brothers and sisters all over the world and our precious planet being collateral damage in the quest for profit. Finally someone running for president in our time is looking at the big picture and not just their next paycheck.

Keep it up H2O man, you are a breath of fresh clean air in our increasingly polluted discourse.
