Thanks for another insightful article. The people of Minneapolis, Maine, and elsewhere subject to the brutal thuggery of ICE should give us all the courage to stand by our convictions. I remember well, as a child in the 50's, pulling out the LP of South Pacific from my parents' collection, and listening to it over and over. Those beautiful lyrics have lived with me ever since. Thanks for introducing them, in this fraught context and perhaps for the first time, to some younger generations of your readers.
Thanks, Mark. Those of us who aren't in the midst of the worst of our bad national situation -- that is, we're not on the street in Minneapolis -- need to at least offer our support, and encourage others to join us. I appreciate your kind words.
Thank you, Rex. And Bravo for speaking the truth to the Upstate postal worker.
I’ve always ascribed to the notion that you can’t “unhear”what you’ve heard, so hopefully someday your message will resonate with that individual, even if he wasn’t ready or open to it when first heard.
Thanks, Joan. I think you're right -- that we have to do what we can to chip away at some of the ignorance and hatred that we encounter. Really, the alternative is to accept it, and that won't do, right? I appreciate your readership.

Good on you Rex. We must resist hatred and racism firmly and with strength. It is the root cause of our current troubles.
