TELLING IT AS IT IS

Today's award for spine goes to General McChrystal for asserting what everyone knows; viz., that a clown with less military experience and knowledge than a boy scout is not to be trusted with decisions about fighting a war. I'm not convinced a punk rock publication was the ideal venue, but so it goes.
Can't tell you his name, but I read of another spine champion, a man that sacrificed a lucrative soap opera contract by refusing to play smut scenes. Hurrah for you, too, Mister!
In earlier times, Elizabethan England, for one example, many people lost their lives merely for refusing to repudiate their religion. It's encouraging to see individuals willing to suffer a loss in order to do what is RIGHT. More of us should take that plunge; it won't go unrewarded.
