23. I am not going to take the blame for this. Maybe I didn't do enough,
but I'm not going to carry an ill-defined, overwhelming sense of guilt. I don't need the extra baggage. Carrying guilt is counter-productive. Instead of feeling guilty, we have to garner enough strength to fight in the future.

I'm not physically well, so it limits my activities and my ability to investigate. I've been out of the loop for a little while, but that doesn't mean I don't care or that I won't continue to fight. It means that I have to take care of myself first or I won't be able to fight.

Laying a guilt trip on others isn't going to help them continue to fight, either. Forget the guilt. It doesn't help. We should help stengthen each other, not tear each other down.

I did what I could, considering. I'm sorry that we didn't defeat the evil Bush cabal, but I'm not sorry for anything else.
