Not all of the responses that I get are published. As a matter of fact I have a few that are not published as I have given any of you the option to send comments to me privately. I am hoping my last few blogs, and it seems like they have helped, in stimulating some dialog on pertinent subjects, just like the comment I got from Annette that filled me in on some facts and figures that I was not aware of. I was only aware that we haven't' done nearly enough. I am hoping and praying that this time when our country sends help and offers reconstruction to Haiti that they actually send help and actually reconstruct.

For those that did not want to be published for their disagreements with what I had to say, I am hoping they will open up and allow what they are saying to be published, because it does invite exchange. However, I have to take credit for some of the venom that may appear in my recent writing. I find that as things go worse for my own body and I get more ill that I have a tendency to lash out and for this I am sorry. My body has not been well lately and seems to be worsening. This has me feeling anxious, concerned, and even a little bit afraid.

It seems when these emotions bare themselves that my entire outlook on life and that which goes on around us changes. And I sometimes throw tantrums. So every once in awhile I need someone to give me a good spanking. Sometimes whether I have thrown a tantrum or not. But for now I feel I have eaten enough crow, at least all I can stomach and who knows perhaps by tomorrow it will make me feel better.

God bless you all, and thank you from the crow eater - have a good Martin Luther King holiday - I probably will not write a blog concerning this particular holiday because when I would be done with that it would amass my plate with far too many crows to eat.
