I just wrote a piece below about the decades of agony PeterGene Budarick and I have in common. We SAW what would happen today back when Europe was lily-white. But no one would listen.

In the course of that piece I pointed out to Budarick that being WRONG is not our problem. Our problem is to deal with being RIGHT. LibAnon confirms this from his own point of view.

LibAnon also thanks me for calling him “comrade.” Screw liberal versus conservative. I’m happy to have you in trench the beside me, comrade.

Bob, you say it’s a lot harder to be right than to be wrong. Well, I can confirm that from precisely the opposite perspective. I’ve been utterly WRONG my entire life, and it didn’t hurt a bit. In the wake of September 11 and Katrina, however, a few things finally started to dawn on me. Now it’s all I can do to hang on to my sanity, not to mention my friends and my livelihood.
So, am I happy I finally woke up from the pleasant little dream that was my life? I can’t yet honestly say that I am, although something has already happened to me in this new life that I wouldn’t want to have missed: being called a comrade by a teacher who has earned my respect. That’s new to me, and it feels good.
