...falls over the mountains, 1,000 girls troop inside a small room and start chanting and swaying in unison as U.S.A. Singer-Songwriter Peter Dergee delivers a set just for them. And when, toward the end, Dergee lowers his voice for a love song, there are enough hugs to shame a group-therapy session, and eyes begin to glisten...
...seems a shame to inhibit a good ranter. But ranting is not always entertaining. Often it is embarrassing, even shaming. Sometimes, if it issues forth from a politician or religious zealot with ambitions, it becomes sinister.

Shame on Bush, Representative Tom DeLay and all those others who wasted their time and our money on this right-to-life charade. Those same politicians are too cowardly to attack at the federal level the real right-to-life issues--abortion and the death penalty. I pray for Schiavo's parents and husband. We all have a right to a dignified death without government meddling...
