Robert. I learn a lot from your letters. The construct of today's piece was pitch perfect. You lift me up each morning. Thank you. Hubbell and coffee - I am ready for the day!
I feel the overall tide is turning, Robert. I see many people slowly but surely creeping out of uncertainty and their wait-and-see attitudes into asking for more information. I see people who have people like you and me in their lives from past jobs or schools where they’ve known us and saw us (and many others like us) as people who are not “flakes” and perhaps are right. I’ve had more than several write to me or respond to my posts with a perceptibly different attitude of collaboration rather than pushback I got a year or so ago. We do indeed need to keep speaking up, reaching out, and being brave enough to risk some discomfort. I’m blown away by how many postcards have already been sent to Virginians! Wow. Action, action, action.
You are brilliant and your writing so inspirational! Excellent to urge readers on with direct links to post card and letter writing opportunities. Our local chapter of Indivisible on Bainbrudge Island WA wrote 13,000 postcards prior to 2020 election.
Thanks. Just to note that in Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin, the Select Committee has two terrific cross-examiners. I don't know it the committee will change the rules so that individual members can conduct real examinations (rather than 5-minute increments that interrupt the flow), but it certainly should.
Not conventional indeed! When did we ever have elections while the planet melted and burned?
When did we, in our history ever face a global pandemic and nay sayers who still claim, while sitting in a hospital on oxygen, that they are not sick with the virus?
I remember lining up for vaccines in school. There were not riots against the school board. It was what you did to be a good citizen, to be an American. We were grateful! We were proud of our Science.
These are no times like any other, and "conventional wisdom" just does not apply!
Put one foot in front of the other and keep working to save what is Good, Noble and Just in our country, in our world. It's what Americans do.

In my mind I'm retitling today's Today's Edition "Conventional Wisdom Be Damned!" A great rallying cry.

Wonderful battle-cry: Conventional wisdom be damned!
