September 27, 2009 — Friends out there? I believe it.
“The truth never has many friends, and unpleasant truths are especially friendless.” Â YAFFA ELIACH
Thank you to all of you who have supported our effort through your thoughts, prayers and comments. Â Believe me, I know that at times we deal with unpleasant truths…or, at least that is our intention. Â How very unpleasant that people are murdered with such impunity. Â How very unpleasant that it’s possible that more than half the men who raped and helped to murder Janet Chandler walk free. Â How very unpleasant that our state’s Supreme Court has been a haven for incivility and divisiveness. How very unpleasant that the Klan is alive and well and resurgent.
As unpleasant as we hold those truths to be, how much worse it could be if we didn’t face those unpleasant truths. Â Together we can face any truth. Â I think in particular of someone who corresponded with me as I was editing the trial footage and compiling the names of The Others. Â This person was a Godsend, providing strength in the midst of what was an entirely draining and consuming task. Â My thanks again.
And to the rest of you, drop a line. Â It would be good to hear from you.
