In today's email, I found this which reminded me that there are other battles being fought besides the ones the MSM concentrates on. Being a stream of consciousness follower of karma, I attributed this to the fact that I'm reading All Over But the Shoutin' for the second time around, by Rick Bragg . His work as a NY Times reporter took him to Haiti for a spell and his experiences there are haunting to read.

Being a multitasker, I've got Dixie Lullaby by Mark Kemp started as well. If you're a 70's music buff, he's your guy.
