7. Politics without principle!
* Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar, India. He led India's movement for independence from British rule and is one of the most respected spiritual and political leaders of the 20th century. In 1948 he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who opposed his tolerance for all creeds and religions. Gandhi is honoured by his people as the father of the Indian nation and is called 'Mahatma', which means Great Soul...Museum of the Mind.

Hope finds you and yours doing well ... Daddy would have have been 100 come this Fathers' Day ... makes me feel old!
As does the picture of Gandhi ... I look more and more like him each day, methinks!
Politics without principle, goodness ... remindful of what Tom Jefferson said, now ain't it ... ""a departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, and to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering" ...
You get my "Pentagon" email?
I do miss our chats!
My latest email to you, inquiring about you, your mom and Robert was returned undeliverable ... please let me know you're okay!
I just discovered that SJA had restricted access to the Blog so that I was the only one having access ...
Not sure what has happened to our beloved Donkey as the address that I have is no longer valid ... however all of his pieces have been saved, sans the pictures; which are unavailable to me.
He remains my treasured friend and I hope all is well with him.
Hope too that he contacts me and that the Southern Jackass' Stall will be revived in the near future!
