I lost television privileges for a month.
* * * *
For most people my age, the most traumatic memory of growing up came on
November 22, 1963. But the date I remember is July 14, 1965, when Adlai
Stevenson dropped dead of a heart attack in London.
I've tried to do what I can, to make up for what I didn't do that
night. I've worked for the cause wherever I could find it. I belong to CND and
SANE and the Friends of the Earth and was active in the nuclear freeze
movement. I think the Green Party (www.greens.org) is the only political
organization worth your vote. I don't know if any of it will change Cross's
awful probabilities; maybe we'll survive in a few more time lines.
When I was a kid, I didn't mind being lonely. Now it's hard, knowing
what I know. Oh, I have lots of friends, all of them wonderful people, but
people who know me say that there's a part of myself that I always keep
hidden. They're right. I don't think I'll ever be able to tell anyone about
what happened with Cross, what I didn't do that night. It wouldn't be fair to
them.
Besides, whatever happens, chances are very good that it's my fault.

| Cytat |
Dobre pomysły nie mają przeszłości, mają tylko przyszłość. Robert Mallet
De minimis - o najmniejszych rzeczach.
Dobroć jest ważniejsza niż mądrość, a uznanie tej prawdy to pierwszy krok do mądrości. Theodore Isaac Rubin
Dobro to tylko to, co szlachetne, zło to tylko to, co haniebne.
Dla człowieka nie tylko świat otaczający jest zagadką; jest on nią sam dla siebie. I z obu tajemnic bardziej dręczącą wydaje się ta druga. Antoni Kępiński (1918-1972)
