"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt
After the 2004 elections Molly Ivins wrote "Don't mourn, organize". That sentiment got me off my couch to join local clubs, join the executive committee and work on 2006 campaigns.
Not to be crass, but is it not a shame that Molly Ivins was a slow runner and lacked extreme physical beauty. Someone who actually addressed meaningful issues does not deserve to be the lead story on the news in our perverse society, unlike a FUCKING HORSE!

Thank you.
