December 7, a day that will live in infamy as opposed to living in famy. And barely noted today in favor of the more politically useful 9/11. Those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it. Our nation survived the attack on Pearl Harbor and its resulting chaos but I'm not so sure about surviving the present attack on our Constitution. The world I grew up in doesn't exist anymore and we're all the worse off for it.
Brother Bob lent me a book to read on the OJ Simpson circus written by a ghost for the two lead detectives. What they never seemed to get was that the whole thing had little to do with OJ and everything to do with institutional racism and trustworthiness of the LAPD. And everyones attempt to use the trial to advance their careers. But the forces of law completely missed the significance of the entire event. Marcia Clark could have won the trial if she had ignored the evidence and tried it topless. She would have had my vote.
One trial held topless would prove that we're all on this flight together.
