    Thanks Walter Shapiro. The Bill Ayers talks back deserves a second slow read for digestion. METANOIA is a beautiful biological word I love... It's worth a read @ Wikipedia. Metanoia, will not hurt. It will sure help humanity.

    The last two sentences: "Let's not lose hope in ourselves.

    But let's wish them [the new transition] all the best." Yes!

    The Bill Ayers photo: He needs to shave? He kiss, scratch.

    I don't know, but Bill Ayers seems:`NO shoots hate glare.

    The old GOP made fox, chickens, mules, and possum cry.

    Maybe if Bill Ayers saw a skinny dachshund puppy he'd feed?

    If ever at a sports event, and a hungry dog barks, or annoys,

    you know, keeps-up a erie howl sound, share a frankfurters.

    Hot dog bun, root beer, snow cone, banana, catchup or fries.
