"He knows not his own strength ...

that hath not met adversity."   Cesare Pavese

Many of us know what it is to suffer because of our beliefs, which inspire our
fight to replace continual rhetoric and propaganda for real "liberty and
justice for all."  We should seek to recognize and be thankful for the strength
of character and purpose that has developed in us through that suffering, and
not let anyone discount or minimize what has been accomplished in us and in
the lives of others through us.  "Fresh activity is the only means of over-
coming adversity," stated Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, so we must not let
setbacks from the "powers that be" discourage us from continuing our actions
for social and political change that benefit those who most need a "break" and
a "bailout" from their present marginalized or ignored status.
