As long as shy, reclusive farmers can write like this (William Faulkner’s Acceptance Speech for the Nobel Prize for Literature 1949) mankind will prevail!!! | |
To learn more about Faulkner,visit this site at the University of Mississippi. | |
“Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it.“ | |
It seems the issue is no longer if we will be blown up, but rather, “Why is America no longer the country I was promised and the world no longer safe?” and more directly, “Who can I blame for this change, because it can’t have been my fault?” | |
Did you vote in Nov. 2000? Nov. 2004? Nov. 2008? Will you vote in Nov. 2010? Nov. 2012? Do you want a continuing message of fear, hate and “them against us” or one of hope and calm reassurance? | |
