Adieu, Susan Sontag I greatly admired you. You had the intestinal fortitude (few seem to posess this attribute today) to speak the truth as you saw it whether it was popular or not. And each time you wrote or spoke out, the bells of reality rang true. So with these few words, I wish to honor your memory. I wish to remember how often truth became you. Some called you traitor for your unwillingness to gloss over some of September's truths. You stood firm, if not dismayed, by the phrases hurled at you for pointing out the discrepancies between perceptions of character and deeds. And even if I take some flack for honoring you, it is a small thing compared to what you encountered, for truth's sake. Namaste, RIP Susan Sontag |

few seem to possess this attribute today... ~*~ She was a lone star in the night, and will now remain ever so. They call them, "one of a kind..." And indeed, your tribute speaks to that part of her soul. Thank you, Kacy. |

Well said, Kacy. She was indeed a remarkable woman, striding the stage of life where many wouldn't even have her in the theater. Good job! Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
