What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense bright and vilified by city people.
And why do we who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech allow people to go to prison and be vilified and magazines to be closed down on the spot for suggesting another version of history.
I have always been very obsessed with time. Time's passage makes us all very vulnerable and because we all experience it in our own way it can make us feel very alone.
