Goin' on a journey...

ezs note: Perhaps you've noticed a subtle change in me. Actually, it's kinda old. Years ago, I became a member of the Baha'i Faith. Well, really long story made very short, I found that I had to leave for awhile. But over the past few months, I discovered a new breadth and depth to the Faith.

Believe me, I'm not trying to convert anyone. If you're happy with another faith, or no faith, hey, I'm happy for you, really. My commentaries are not hagiographies. You will see them on the right side, long strange journey, at the top of listings.

Here's a tip!

ezs note: By now, unless you've been hiding under a really big rock, you have heard that AG Barr has received Robert Mueller's final report. As of now, things look pretty good for our receiving the document, but we all know how squirrely things can get. I have already emailed AG Barr to let him know how I feel. (https://www.justice.gov/doj/webform/your-message-department-justice) Okay, I know how you probably feel about this. It doesn't matter. For now, Barr is the AG. Please, let the better angels of our nature be at work and tell the AG politely, formally, yet firmly that you want to see the whole document.

But please, just do it. YOU can make the difference.
