I Love The West Wing For Many

This Supposed Idyllic Society We Have Is The Most Confused, Warped, Addicted Society In The History Of The World. We Are Addicted To Power, We're Addicted To Our Own Image Of Ourselves, To Violence, Divorce, Abortion, And Sex.

On The Show, We Are Not Trying To Get People To Eat Their Vegetables; We Are Not Trying To Get People To Become Democrats. We Are Basically Trying To Encourage People To Get Involved With Public Life So That Politics Isn't Left To The Wealthy And Privileged.

I Never Lost My Faith...but Like All Modern Catholics, I Felt For A Time That I Had Outgrown The Church. Now It Is A Bone Of Contention In My Soul That I Did Not Share My Faith With My Kids, As My Parents Did With Me. It Was A Source Of Grace When I Needed It. I Have Been Greatly Nurtured And Inspired By My Faith.

People, Although Having Their Own Cross To Carry, Can Minister To Others Through Their Own Pain.

I Sincerely Believe That Everything - Everything - Is Grace, And You Have To Stick Around Long Enough To See It Through. I'm A Very Optimistic Person.
