So it's 2006 Already

Happy New Year to all.

If I make any further comments, I'll only reveal my typically cynical opinion of the world in general, so I'll just stop here. ;-)

Today, I'm watching "To Kill A Mockingbird" on television and it's making me really weepy because I think Atticus Finch is my all-time favorite movie hero (IIRC, the American Film Institute agreed). My country so desperately needs a few Atticus Finches, and a few Jefferson Smiths (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031679/), but those kind of people are rare these days, and when they do try to step forward, they're so quickly and viciously shot down. Maybe people like that never really existed outside of fiction. But it's nice to dream.

I think any country needs people like that. I think they do exist, but the way politics and money are so intertwined these days, they have no chance at getting to a place where they can be heard, and can inspire people who have forgotten that there is another way.
