Peace Corps Pride

I have been watching a program on PBS tonight about Sargent Shriver and the Peace Corps. Extremely interesting. The thing that affected me most, though, was the fact that people who have served, and are serving, in the Peace Corps, are among the most impressive and impactful people on this planet. My niece served two years in the Peace Corps in Paraguay. God, I cannot believe how proud I am of her! And I am in awe of Sargent Shriver. John Kennedy and L.B.J., despite their personal flaws and foibles, were incredible leaders. Now, we have George Bush. Fuck! We need another Democrat, someone with a concience and a belief in humankind, so badly we can all taste it.
