Tina, I love this. It is beautiful. I'm so glad it was the first thing I read today; it will sustain me through the garbage that is sure to follow. I remember the days when a political debate was about tax policy of the deficit, but now it is an argument that has become so painful. I've lost people I thought were my friends until I realized they don't even know for sure if I have a right to live. I'm heartbroken and feel so betrayed by my country.
