Thanks E, better from you....I have a friend with whom I periodically argue, who assumes that not believing in anything is the way to make everyone more peaceful, as if people only fight because of ideology, as opposed to greed and the lust for power...I say to him:" Someone had to believe strongly enough in democracy and even common decency to fight Hitler and keep Stalin at bay. If there had not been those with the terrible conviction that slavery was wrong, it is possible that even now the black man would be held as chattel. The person with no conviction often becomes the trimmer, going along to get along, easily bought, finger in the air, and following the tide...."
