This is a hard year for me and finding blessings. It's the first holiday season since my mother passed away. Still very fresh. Everything triggers memories. But I am thankful for the gifts she gave everyone. Gave me. Life, selfless values, compassion, unconditional love, and all the wonderful things a mother can be. Everyone, give a hug/toast/call to your mother. (Here's one of each for our Forum Mom. Thanks Mal!)
Thanks to Andrew and everybody here. For the chance to vent, learn, maybe help here and there, and most of all broaden my perspectives beyond this little closet community called home.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
