Thanks Michele - I too heard some of the Brennan interview - and as always was refreshed by his energy and vision. There are great signs of hope too of course in the midst of all else - effective power of course is still in the hands of the government of the day and I feel great pain about their policies and practices at this time. I'm grateful too for people like Frank Brennan and yourself for reminding us that hope is possible.
Many thanks.,
