[Dialogue] Bono's speech at the Presidential prayer breakfast

[Chagnon@comcast.net]

Jann, 
   Thank you so much for Bono's Prayer Breakfast speech.  He really found the 
words to respect the office of the powers-that-be and motivate them with their 
own "beliefs" (my cynicism always wants to take over) while challenging past 
decisions to the max with a credible 1% solution.  What a work of art.  It was 
worth the long read--keep 'em coming.
   Richard and I went to downtown Wilmington to hear Jim Wallis when he was here 
in the Fall with God's Politics: What the Left Forgot & the Right Doesn't Know (or something like that).  The Presbyterian Church was full.  I had an e-mail subscription 
Sojourners for a couple of years.  Good stuff, especially Jim's pieces up front.  
   We recently ordered, from Amazon, three copies (to share) of The Left Hand of God: Taking Back Our Country from the Religious Right by Rabbi Michael Lerner, Tikkun magazine.  There is a movement (I forgot from whom) to pre-order before imminent publication so that it will hit the best seller list high enough to be at bookstores' front door displays.  
   Hope you and Fred are in good health.
