GENE UPSHAW…
By Anthony | August 22, 2008
Greetings, sadly this morning I heard of the unfortunate death of Gene Upshaw.
Back in the good old days of the late 1970’s and early 80’s he was the quintessential pulling guard for the daunted power running game of the Oakland Raiders.
Man, I can still see those images of him leading the way for Clarence Davis, Kenny King, Mark Van Eghen et al before plowing through a would be tackler.
In addition quarterbacks Ken Stabler, Darryl Lamonica and Jim Plunkett were given the time to pick apart the defense’s secondary with surgeon’s like precision.
Time was something Eugene Thurman Upshaw gave to the National Football League for 15 years as a Hall of Fame player and another 25 as the Executive Director of the Players’ Association.
Yet, his time ran out in the cruelest of ways.
This past Sunday, August 17th, Upshaw was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Wednesday, August 20th, the 63-year old husband and father of three sons left us.
Undoubtedly his playing career was stellar. In fact, The Sporting News ranked the Texas A&I graduate number 62 in its list of the 100 Greatest Football Players, trust me that’s speaking volumes for someone earning a living in the trenches where criticism is far more frequent than praise and it would probably be the only time they’d be noticed.
As the head of the NFL’s players union there was a great deal of debate about Upshaw’s effectiveness and compassion for players before and during his era.
Many of these gridiron greats – some who decided to take a lump sum one-time payment of their retirement money - had fallen on hard times and could not get any help from the union when they needed it.
The examples are too numerous to mention and over the last few years the current rank and file – having achieved some level of economic parity with other sports thanks to signing bonuses, free agency and rites of passage with the threat of labor pains looming - was ready to unseat him.
Many have commented on both of these issues and it is quite sad to see.
I am not here to dish out any criticism or understanding of Mr. Upshaw’s position on the important subject of retired players. I just find it tragic on both ends. They all deserved better. PEACE

ZIMBABWE, MUGABE, MAPFUMO AND THE MEDIA…
By Anthony | August 3, 2008
Greetings, lately the Republic of Zimbabwe has been in the news with election issues, economic ruin and the west’s classic lame attempt at finding a bogeyman to rationalize their role in the situation.
The casual and sophisticated eye is not alone in looking at this southern African nation, as 18 years ago – wow it has been that long! – I ventured to the former British colony, once known as Rhodesia, with a group to celebrate the fledgling Zimbabwe’s 10th anniversary of independence.
The experience was quite memorable, as it was around the time that Nelson Mandela had been released and we attended a ceremony in his honor at the soccer stadium.
The Africans I met were great. They moved with pride, respect and confidence in their homeland and were always willing to speak and connect.
Though the whole experience was memorable, two noteworthy moments occurred when I visited the amazing Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that Thunders), or Victoria Falls, – twice the size of Niagara Falls, far more romantic, you get much closer and there’s a rainbow everyday! – And while attending a Thomas Mapfumo concert in someone’s backyard!
Mapfumo would be the equivalent of say Bob Marley, Curtis Mayfield or even Marvin Gaye in terms of popularity coupled with the willingness and courage to let his music – in this case he’s the creator of the native Chimurenga (or protest) style – entertain while also accepting the mantle to move the masses socially and politically.
So, needless to say the beauty of “Mukanya” or “The Lion of Zimbabwe” is quite evident in his acquiescence to perform openly at someone’s house, and how warmly he was received at this free concert.
Mapfumo – with his Shona music serving as the spiritual guide – played an integral part in frustrating and exposing the repressive 15-year regime of Ian Smith. However, it is also a sad juxtaposition when you consider the plight of the Black majority today.
How did they get there?
Well, as with most situations there’s plenty of blame to be thrown around.
Many will point the finger at Zimbabwe’s only leader, Robert Mugabe, and he certainly needs to be held accountable. It’s his paranoid totalitarian government that forced Mapfumo to live in Oregon in response to harassment from the administration for critical lyrics. Yet even with that to hold Mugabe singularly responsible would be far too easy and lazy.
As noted earlier Zimbabwe was a British colony, as the fervent proponent of taking another country’s Creator-provided assets, Cecil Rhodes, – working under the auspices of the British government - seized control of the mineral rich region’s resources to attain his ambition of extending Britain’s hegemony. It should be noted that Rhodes is the founder of the diamond conglomerate De Beers.
For nearly a century the indigenous Black majority was ruled by Rhodes’ version of British colonialism.
Unsuccessful attempts to reclaim their land occurred late in the 19th century with the Shona and Ndebele peoples. The result was a large European migration and lopsided land distribution in favor of the new immigrants.
The subsequent ownership of land has continued to be a major issue in any discussion of justice and fairness moving forward in Zimbabwe even after its independence in 1980.
According to Mugabe’s ZANU (PF) government whites made up 1% of the population but held 70% of the country’s arable land.
In 2000 amid impatience from those who supported Mugabe he began to redistribute land to the majority Black population at the consternation of the colonial rulers. Consequently, there was a sharp decline in the country’s agricultural exports – once a hallmark for providing the nation dollars – with a severe hard currency shortage (one of the few places where the American dollar is strong, as of March one dollar equaled 25,000,000 Zimbabwean dollars), astounding hyperinflaion (as of February it was 100,000%) and chronic shortages in imported fuel as well as consumer goods. Predictably Mugabe’s human rights abuses and election tampering were then made public and reported widely in the foreign press.
Again, there is plenty of room to criticize Mugabe for where this nation’s proud Black majority find themselves. However, please do consider that he had the wherewithal to close out the duplicitous $200 million U.S. plus debt imposed by the International Monetary Fund during this economic strangulation. Yes, those funds could’ve been used to help the people and the IMF’s overflowing coffers would’ve still been well financed.
From my point of view the 84-year old Mugabe is driven by ego and has failed to nurture young voices that could carry on in his stead, which make him an easy target of the west’s propaganda machine to paint his face as the sole reason for what’s ailing Zimbabwe.
Unfortunately, this approach is buffered by the media coverage throughout Africa let alone Zimbabwe.
Some seven years ago the New African magazine reported on a Conflict And Peace Forum seminar in London where the discussion centered on whether the reportage of Africa was racist.
Fortunately, it was an honest exchange with the consensus from the reporters on the ground acknowledging a bias from their bureaus to offer the company line.
Consider these comments from Tom Walker, the diplomatic correspondent of the British Weekly:
“I think Zimbabwe is an interesting example,” Walker admitted. “I think over here [in Britain], we’ve given the public not a very clear picture of what the reality is on the ground. I would say certainly the whites are not the beleaguered lot we’ve led people to believe in our coverage.
“I have driven from Harare up to the farming heartlands, to places like Centenary, up north, where it’s very apparent that the only big vehicles on the roads are the white farmers in their Pajeros and Landcruisers, an enormous amount of economic power rests with the whites…
“It’s a question of the emergence of democracy in Zimbabwe, and Mugabe is, of course, fighting tooth and nail to keep hold of his power. I don’t think that has been reflected adequately in the coverage.”
Walker continued: “I also think what we need from these stories, as we get into the downward spiral of news values in Britain, is a foreign ‘bogey-man’, and Mugabe has become almost the Milosevic of Africa.
“I’m very often asked to investigate Mugabe’s bank accounts and things like that, and it’s just not possible to do that, but there’s tremendous pressure on journalists to approach it from that sort of angle.”

FRIENDSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING…
By Anthony | July 20, 2008
Greetings, It’s not easy these days trying to keep sane amidst all the stuff going on. I try very hard to remain positive and upbeat and actually enjoy this very hands-on experience called life, but there are times when I want to go Sprewell!
Unfortunately, summertime is upon us and it is the worst season to feel as though things are falling apart right in front of you as the combination of New York City haze, heat, humidity and human high jinks all help create one’s own hell.
Please don’t get me wrong though, I love the warm weather.
Nevertheless, this current anguish is exacerbated – almost always – by my own actions. Suffice it to say I have not been as strong – nor wise - as I should be in a lot of different areas. Choosing instead to succumb to ignorance, gullibility, anger, impatience, aloofness and various other devilish functions I regrettably claim.
These feelings come and go like the seasons with the only true remedy being to ride it out and really attempt to learn from the current misery, while definitely appreciating those moments away from the abyss.
Relationships – one of those areas that cause grief - are very tricky and require a constant balancing act, as any tip leading to an extreme in this frail association can sap the life out of the individual doing too much.
Before I begin let me by all means say that I am no saint!
I’ve damaged a lot of very good friendships in my day and undoubtedly there’s some karmic blowback here, however the one constant is that those who I mistreated and even took for granted left, while I linger with some sordid sense of responsibility to failed acquaintances.
This time there are two examples of all of the above.
Both are with ladies, one that I’ve known for 30 years and the other for nearly a decade.
I’ll spare you the details because quite frankly they are insignificant. For once I truly decided to look within and not seek happiness externally it did not matter that both were, whatever…
You see life and relationships are a mirror and a reflection of how we’ve behaved to someone else as a result of those causes, and for me these two women are my effects/karma.
Fortunately, now with the horse clearly out of the barn, the clock well past the 11th hour and the water up to my nose I realize all of this ever so clearly.
In addition, there have been some things that I have claimed which are actually the issues of others.
You know, where someone distributes their stuff onto you as if in basketball where a ball hog will dribble right into the teeth of the defense and upon realizing that any attempt at a shot will be mashed back down their throats, the selfish teammate suddenly becomes altruistic and throws a pass placing you in the most awkward of situations.
Do you feel me?
I’ve been surrounded by a lot of that and oddly enough attempt to honor the attempted assist from the well meaning associate by creating this image of I am here to help you, all the while in need of a hand my damn self and not able to help at the extent they require.
Compassion and giving are very noble acts – ones which I will continue - BUT they should never leave you asking for a transfusion.
With a stronger sense of self I have begun the healing process, with one of the realizations being speaking with sharp clarity in all situations to avoid any semblance of confusion.
The final epiphany of sorts is to put myself first always, and to avoid any mix-up here I’ll provide you with some sharp clarity by simply saying I am stronger and at my best when not leeched upon. I can offer suggestions, praise, sympathy, a shoulder, etc… gladly but never at the expense of my own self. PEACE

CAN BLACK PEOPLE CRITICIZE OBAMA?
By Anthony | July 11, 2008
Greetings, The recent “hot mic” comments from Reverend Jesse Jackson regarding Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama compels me to explore a topic I have long considered. The incendiary portion will not be examined here for I have a healthy cynicism on a number of things that happen and will leave it at that.
However, I do think a larger door has been opened by this recent example of foot in mouth disease, and that is can Africans living in America still be swept up in the enormous pride, hope and excitement by the monumental historic possibility of Barack, Michelle, Malia and Natasha Obama residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in five months, while also holding Mr. Obama accountable to addressing issues that are paramount to them?
It’s much like the pseudo Iraq War debate questioning one’s patriotism if they oppose this nation’s unclear insurgency there. Things are never so cut and dry or dare I say black and white. Yes, it actually is possible to support the troops by wanting them home and ending the ongoing bloodshed on all levels, to empathize with the families losses, sickening number of deaths and to rhetorically ask why have those who play the red, white and blue USA, USA game not allowed the media unfettered access to the funeral services or the arrival of the bodies.
It is possible to criticize Mr. Obama and still have tears of joy if he is inaugurated January 20, 2009, and we shouldn’t lose sight of the true prizes we have long struggled for. At last check there are still inequities in almost every analysis of our lives - this is not playing the victim game it is fact - and our responsibilities should be to hold him accountable to justice and fairness.
It’s really no different from the actions of those who saw a chasm between so called blue collar white voters who did not support the Illinois senator. If you’ll recall the mainstream media played into this by making it an ongoing issue during the latter stages of the campaign with Mrs. Clinton - so overwhelmingly that an argument could be made that it was during this period where we saw the beginnings of Obama’s shift to the center.
Furthermore, during a speech in San Francisco that he thought was not being taped Barack Obama made comments about bitter voters who “cling to guns and religion”. Ironically, that segment, and the corporate media, railed against him and forced him to later say, “I didn’t say it as well as I should’ve.” Yet, when Obama’s comments about Black fathers are questioned by some - Jesse Jackson’s tacky remarks were not the only ones as there were several who wanted a more even handed critique of all absentee fathers - the prevailing theme is that Black folks are being too sensitive.
Very simply it’s what happens when the constituents use their power (potential votes) to make politicians respect them. Remember in the 1970’s when Black mayors were en vogue popping up in major cities from L.A. to Newark, and yes there was pride but there was also no accountability nor level of responsibility as the keys were handed off and our concerns went elsewhere.
The stakes are very high during this presidential race just as they are with regard to many of the local races where substantive change could be more noticeable. Websites like the Black Agenda Report and the always on time commentaries of death row inmate/powerful journalist Mumia Abu Jamal have been on point in analyzing the race neutral campaign of Mr. Obama, and if anything they force us to think with a healthy eye towards our issues.
Again for example, much like the aggressive tactics of the Pro-Israel lobby groups here, and his subsequent address to AIPAC a few weeks ago.
My fear is that it may be too late to tap the Democratic Presidential candidate on the shoulder and ask him to address our concerns, though I still have these hopes of a modern version of the epic 1969 Sam Greenlee novel Spook Who Sat By The Door. PEACE

CREATING YOUR REALITY…
By Anthony | July 9, 2008
Greetings, Amidst the daily onslaught of terror attacks from buying gas, losing homes, diminishing jobs/wages, increased government spying and an overall feeling of waiting for the next internal terror bomb to go off, there actually is reason to stand up and proclaim yourself saved.
For if you are in the dumps from any variation of the above consider it your own personal epiphany, and an opportunity to look the beast squarely in the face and defeat it.
No, I am not belittling some of the major challenges we everyday people are facing at an alarming rate, but this provides the impetus to think and move with a different energy; a force that will not be defeated and by all means does not allow the doom and gloom around us to terrorize; a positive vibration that turns poison into medicine.
You see we are living in a time where what is real all depends on who is writing the script and directing the story, and sadly that equation places you at anyone’s whim. Imagine, how liberating it is to take complete control of your own story!
However, in order to do so all fear must be extinguished and never allowed to enter the psyche. Fear is what those who want to control your thinking rely on.
Another key component to building your treasure chest is compassion, as it is not what the manipulators expect when everything around us appears to be in shambles.
Finally, some level of spirituality - and not misguided obstinate religion - will buttress and sustain our actions. Let’s start creating. PEACE

A PATHOLOGY REVEALED…
By Anthony | May 25, 2008
Greetings, We are now a few days removed from Hillary Clinton’s latest political gaffe in this presidential campaign of constant Mea culpas, outright lies, poor math and the bogus disingenuous game of guilt by association.
Over the last year the New York senator has diminished in relevance right before my eyes by just doing as Clinton’s do.
For the record her recent comments stating that the reason she continues to run - which I have no problem with, but have grown very tired of her tactics - is because there have been times when the Democratic nominee wasn’t determined in June (citing her husband’s win in 1992, while conveniently forgetting that 16 years ago Bill Clinton had effectively eliminated the field and had no real opponent) - and that in 1968, “we all remember that Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”
Now, at first glance I was willing to let it go and chop it up to just the rigors of the campaign, but then I remembered that she is the one with the experience she constantly reminds us of.
Most importantly I note that the possibility of an assassination attempt on Barack Obama is a very real and tragic reminder of the dark side of this country, and she should be well aware of the heightened security provided to prevent such an act almost as soon as the apparent party nominee entered this 16-month battle.
In reality all of these mistakes by Mrs. Clinton - from the decision to accept the party line and penalize Florida and Michigan for moving their primaries, but then when she started losing campaigning in the sunshine state and claiming those votes and changing the total number of party delegates needed from 2025 to 2209 (Clinton math), to dodging bombs as she arrived in Bosnia, to the comments from her husband trivializing South Carolina’s Black voters, to the latest tactic of claiming that she has garnered support from the working class while again ignoring that people of color are blue-collar as well and she has consistently lost that segment of voter - just prove that she and her husband will do anything to get what they want.
In fact, there has always been a level of entitlement they have brought to this year’s campaign, as if the Democratic primaries and caucuses were just mere formalities on her way to being anointed the first female president.
So, imagine the level of anger to see someone taking this from them. They will stoop to anything! Never allowing the facts get in the way of their self adulation and ego. PEACE

THE ART OF GIVING…
By Anthony | May 23, 2008
Greetings, During these challenging times for practically everyone I find myself being asked to help out people financially a little more.
As a result I’ve had to ask myself some very hard and at times uncomfortable questions.
Ironically, as a member of the Nichiren Daishonin Buddhist organization (SGI-USA) we are in the midst of the Commemorative Contribution period - known as zaimu - which goes this year from April 28 - June 8. We are reminded that the amount is irrelevant and that the only important factor is our intentions. ”It is the heart that is important,” Nichiren reminds us.
For so long I played a game with myself thinking I was giving and not having some hidden ulterior motive however subtle.
Over the last few years a very good friend of mine has come on some dreadfully challenging times, and as a result I decided to help her with a number of things without ever inspecting my true intentions.
Fortunately, I was over the wooing her with money phase, at least with this woman, yet the acts of giving brought on a good feeling, but placed me in a bind - one that I occasionally lament, along with other less noble acts - that has forced me to play catch up.
Nonetheless, I did enjoy helping a fellow friend and have continued even after leaving my main source of income. I’ve come to the realization that I really wish I could help a number of people because I empathize with their situation and am aware that it could be me at any point.
Furthermore, this epiphany of sorts has afforded me the opportunity to look around my life and truly take hold of what is around me. In a word it is simply appreciation. A thankfulness for what the Universe has provided me and the faith that there is much more waiting. However, most importantly an understanding of the fine line I walk and to always question my true intentions. PEACE

THE MEDIA IS THE MASSAGE…
By Anthony | May 14, 2008
Greetings, With respect to the late Marshall McLuhan I am forced to remember his seminal 1960’s book as the partial title of this entry (actual title was The Medium Is The Massage).
Unfortunately, this relaxing, primarily of the largest muscle, does not come with rosemary, sage oils and all the other more pleasant mood altering accoutrements. Regrettably it comes with a corporate press corps who, with few exceptions, is complicit in cultivating a lack of balanced reporting/analysis while maintaining an apparent incestuous relationship with the power structure it is suppose to watch for inequity.
With that in mind I offer you Saturday, April 26th, the annual gathering of the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, an unfortunate waste of time, an awful display of narcissism and overall hailing to the chief.
In all fairness to the current administration these gatherings go way back to 1920 with Calvin Coolidge being the first president to attend four years later. Twelve other presidents have taken part in this event. Yet, for me the problems of too much coziness have been much more apparent over the last few years. Let’s remember that it was the corporate media’s inability to think on it’s own and not drink the disingenuous kool aid spewing from Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell et al in the months prior to the illegal Iraq war. Unfortunately, while the entire world was protesting much of the corporate media was asleep. Ditto for many of the ills facing this country that have apparently snuck up and bit us on the fanny overnight; sub prime, gas prices, the overall economy. I guess we’ll need a few more disastrous bridge collapses for the dilapidated infrastructure to be addressed.
Interestingly enough many of these sudden pandemics have the ill conceived war in Iraq as its parent. Meanwhile, at this very same White House Correspondents Dinner we’ve seen George W. Bush poke fun at his inability to find weapons of mass destruction, and in spite of a polite slap on the wrist from the fourth estate for this figurative spitting on the deceased and injured soldiers much of the status quo continues from the press.
Over the last few months the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) have convened to offer true accounts of what is really going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. The sessions, called Winter Soldier, are in accord with the first hearings some 35 years ago detailing the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, the important testimony at these gatherings has gone unreported by the corporate media, while they laugh it up with a mediocre man in charge.
This year I saw some clips on C-span of the White House Correspondents Dinner and thought I was watching the old movie Animal House or yet another episode of the more modern, and equally useless, film Scary Movie. Adolescent and frat boy humor from our leader and chief referencing the vice president’s first name, but then again what do you expect from a C student.
However, we do expect more from our media, and there are various other places to get a healthy source of vital information.
The PBS series’ Frontline and Bill Moyers Journal are good starts, Democracy Now and other independent media sources along with corporate media’s exception Keith Olberman and his nightly countdown as well as the New York City area’s longtime stalwart program for justice Like It Is with Gil Noble, but that job requires a bit more work and an understanding that the term embedded media did not just start with the early stages of the Iraq war.

NO ONE IS WRONG HERE…
By Anthony | May 2, 2008
Greetings, Well much has been said recently regarding the tattered Jeremiah Wright-Barack Obama relationship. While the overwhelming majority of the words - post Bill Moyers interview, NAACP dinner speech and National Press Club question and answer session - have been an even greater denunciation of the presidential candidate’s former pastor and a continuing closer link of the two, I am of the strong belief that neither of the two men are at fault here.
Firstly, they both represent two different, yet prevailing, perspectives throughout the African diaspora. Different not deficient. I respect and am encouraged as well as inspired by the passion, courage, intellect and patriotism exhibited by the two. Africans in America walk a fine line in many respects and therein lies the dichotomy, one which I thoroughly appreciate, over what has transpired this week.
Ironically, senator Obama laid this all out during his More Perfect Union speech mid-March in Philadelphia. However, the media stayed on the sensational aspects of the story (wish they would show such perseverance more judiciously and consistently) and ultimately Reverend Wright, in an expression of displeasure, took their disingenuous bait. I say disingenuous only because there was not a careful analysis of what was said during either three of the former marine’s recent public appearances.
After the Moyers interview the long-time journalist was chastised for not asking tough questions, but the scope of what those who saw the entire hour-long discourse was swept under the rug and ditto for the other two appearances.
Now, do I wish Rev. Wright would’ve let it lie with the Moyers interview and not go through all the gyrations at the NAACP dinner and Press Club gathering? Sure, because I understand how he was going to be portrayed, but I also respect his opportunity to accurately portray himself while under attack.
Conversely, I respect senator Obama’s position and honestly believe that it was going to follow him whether his former pastor would’ve remained quiet or not, so better to get it out the way at this point.
What’s important is that people of justice from all beliefs start a dialogue regardless of how unpleasant or misinterpreted.
I just hope this isn’t a contagious thing where Mr. Obama would be continually forced to denounce/repudiate his relationships and/or views to prove to some, who are not concerned with justice, that he is okay. PEACE

PLAYING TENNIS IN A FOOTBALL GAME…
By Anthony | April 27, 2008
Greetings, Over the last few weeks I have had the pleasure of breaking bread with some of the world’s most brilliant minds.
I am shooting footage and U.S. based interviews for a production company located on the Continent and in Europe. The biopic, aptly called MotherLand, explores the practically never publicized fact that civilization started in Africa and the myriad of ramifications that beset those in the diaspora who don’t know, and the raison de’tre by those who do, but steadfastly deny it.
I traveled throughout the D.C. area to conduct several interviews with policy makers from TransAfrica Forum (founded by Randall Robinson in 1977) as well as two memorable sessions with General/Child Psychiatrist, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Author/Historian, Anthony Browder.
If you don’t know anything about these two PLEASE research them. I will just point out that for over 40 years Dr. Welsing - using the framework of another brilliant mind, Neely Fuller, Jr. - has laid out a thorough plan of action for Black/African people to handle the continuing onslaught of white supremacy/racism while also explaining the pervasive paranoia/insecurity that forces those who benefit from white supremacy/racism to continue it.
Meanwhile, Mr. Browder has written several books that are must reads for true historians and people who prefer solutions. However, with all due respect the highlight was my nearly three hours with Dr. Welsing, and that’s what prompted the title for this entry.
During our conversation she insightfully pointed out that Black people have still not realized what game is being played on them. ”It’s like bringing a tennis racket to a football game,” she simply stated.
Now, even if you have no understanding of the two sports you should know that one is far more physical than the other, and if you don’t come to the game properly prepared you - with Wimbledon attire - will get seriously roughed up engaging well conditioned athletes in pads and helmets.
Sadly, that brings us to the dismal decision in the Sean Bell trial, where yet another Black man was murdered by police officers who walked free.
Fifty shots!! All unloaded by the officers! At this point I am in favor of all strategies to confront these types of aggressions on our human rights precipitated by white supremacy that affect ALL areas of people contact. However, please read Dr. Welsing’s Isis Papers and Neely Fuller’s United Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept. These two priceless works, published in 1991 and 1971 respectively, address the necessary tactics to play this game.
I will just say, in accord with the analysis of the aforementioned names, that our behavior towards each other needs to change, which is not to overlook the acts of terrorism perpetrated repeatedly against us. I will look in the mirror very hard and check myself. PEACE
