176. The Irish People Fought for Independence for Hundreds of Years...
Edited on Mon Sep-04-06 04:25 AM by autorank
...generations came and went, without a victory, sometimes without hope for victory.

Did they stop fighting? No. Did they give up? No.

I'm sure there were those who were optimistic from time to time, who said this or that would happen. What do you think happened to those people? Were they excluded, ridiculed, called all sorts of names.

I sincerely doubt it. They kept going, kept fighting.

Personally and politically, I don't judge someone based on predictions, I judge them based on their life work.

I think Johnson has a tightly reasoned case. That has nothing to do with who he is or what he's contributed...it's prediction, speculation.

Thank God for people like Larry Johnson.

Keep the faith.
