That's One Of The Things That's So Great About Blogs

I've discovered so many different people, opinions and information on blogs, it still bowls me over how extraordinary it is.

This is going to sound kinda melodramatic, but doesn't it just kill you sometimes to know how much great stuff is out there, that so many people who may never see it should see it don't know about it and won't go looking for it?

This is going to sound weird too - but one of the reasons I really support Obama and Biden is because I feel that they project this Be Not Afraid kinda thing - don't be afraid of what's different from you because ulimately what we want is close to what you want. Personally, though, as much as foreign situations can be scary, I've really invited myself into them and sought them out. I don't think that's so normal, necessarily but I feel that it should be - esp. in the shrinking globe.

Sorry for digression!

A Lot Of This History Was News To Me As Well

Hi Jill,

One of the points Cynthia Salzman Mondell made when I
spoke to her was that she primarily markets the film "Sisters Of '77"
to women's studies programs in colleges because history programs aren't
generally interested in teaching feminist history.

It just goes to show how much further we have to go.
