Glenn Greenwald on C-Span; a brilliant presentation
Truth to power has not been more artfully articulated. Catch C-Span re-run or go to Salon.com to read some of his articles. If so moved, send some to Grandma if she does not have a computer and likes to read. (Smile)

MLK Memorial Fund and “Post card” thank you
In my opinion, there are times when *egregious conduct - I hope that is the right word - grabs you with a “Hear ye, hear ye” in total bewilderment from whence some people get their inspirations. Note:
The…..Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation, Inc. would like to express our sincere appreciation for your donation of $000.00.……To ensure that the majority of your donation goes toward honoring Dr. King’s legacy, we have opted to acknowledge your gift by postcard.
“Opted” they said. Boo! Some people make anonymous contributions to foundations and could possibly have donated more money to the foundation than they gave the postman for Christmas. The thought of having someone else for whatever reason reading about your personal financial contributions is not the way to go; consider for example a neighbor picking up your mail for you and the like.
There has to be people in the foundation who objected to sending postcards. Why didn’t they prevail? I will have to consider further donations with that type of exposure. There is always that one in an organization who can put a wrench in anything positive the group wants to do. Imagine in the Sunday Bulletin at Dr. King’s church someone posting the names and amount of contributions of church members from the previous week or having the church clerk call the roll!
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

*Social graces are skills used to interact politely in social situations. They include manners, etiquette, deportment and fashion. Traditionally, these skills were taught primarily to young women at a finishing school or charm school. The popularity of social graces has waned over the last century, but has recently experienced a resurgence with an emphasis on business etiquette and international protocol.
