Thank you, thank you, thank you. Not to make a big thing of this, but just some background - I was laid off from my dream job in August, and I've been fighting depression and despair ever since. John Lennon has a special place in my heart, and over the past few days his music has really helped to calm me down and keep me optimistic about the future. I had just finished asking a person who pointed out this post if you could make one for John Lennon when I came here and...low and behold. Ridiculous as it may sound, I literally wept. There's really nothing else I can say, you know? Just...thank you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Taking Aung San Suu Kyi (I might come back for Ghandi, MLK, though). I love all of them, but her fear from freedom speech is the proverbial shower that I need after watching that uncomfortable Republican Convention this week. *shudders* "It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it." Right? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	These are amazing in every way. You are so creative, and you went to so much trouble, indeed. What a great response to Ms. Barracuda's remarks. Very dignified and very effective. I think I must take #'s 4 and 5, and you will definitely be credited! Thank you! (Reply to this) (Thread)
