Re: One more thing.

Whenever I rant about injustice, corruption, or some other pet peeve my son's would say, "The world would surely be different if dad were in charge."

I'll pass that on to you. The world be certainly be different if Cynthia were in charge.

We're all biased towards our unique life journey, the people we encounter along the way, hardships, triumphs and how they shape our views. I have learned EVERYTHING is subject to change. One unexpected turn in life can alter our perception of our world. And I know you know that.

Yes, I love the story of Jose Antonio Vargas. He represents the side of immigration, legal or not, many people fail to see. He's a good kid, intelligent, trying to make good in his life. This is why the Citizen USA doc is so good. There are many people like him. The word immigrant has been stained by negative stereotypes that must be corrected by educated immigrants coming forward, as Vargas did.

Off the grid sounds great .... if I didn't need a job.
