Reply #128: We should have a Hissyspit appreciation thread [View All]

Thank you so much for this idea and the time you spent putting all of this together. I have been very grateful for Trudeau's voice for these past horrible years, especially during the darkest times of 2002 and 2003 when so many people were silenced by the * admin and media intimidation. He truly is a hero and a patriot.

One word I would add to your otherwise eloquent statement to him would be "compassion".

As in, "We are daily inspired by your continued efforts at communicating with humor and through your characters our humanity and the values of reasoned and free-thinking and <em>compasssionate </em> persons."

I sense that what fuels his work is the rage he has felt from witnessing so much disregard for human life and the consequences of all of the * admin's choices. I think it is his empathy for the soldiers, the families of the soldiers, everyone personally affected by what has happened that he is speaking for. I think that it reveals a big heart that is raging and he is trying to make a difference in the way he knows best.

Needless to say, please add my name to the list. I would be honored to be able to whisper at my gratitude in a way that he could be aware of it.
