Mourning this Morning December 27, 2007

I want this site to be a retreat from “the awfulness” of the world but I must admit, I myself am having a hard time letting go of this one.  Benjamin Scott, a fellow Oakland community advocate drove me to see Benazir Bhutto speak in San Jose in 2003.  Bhutto was speaking to the annual lucncheon of the YWCA.  She was a mesmerizing force.  I had long been a fan since my geeky teenage days when I thought that everyone should start high school with a subscription to TIME magazine. I am just heartsick over her assasination. I was delighted to see her return to Pakistan this summer and with such pluck and determination as seen in this article.
