"How do you know where the line is if you don't cross it?" - Dave Chappelle
He goes on to say, "The truth is permanent, everything else just falls by the wayside." Sometimes this moment in history isn't as important as what's going to last. Tim wrote this week about missing an opportunity to take a stand. http://apesmaslament.blogspot.com/2008/04/on-doing-what-you-need-to-do.html If we all miss opportunties to take a stand, how will history change? Someone needs to be willing to cross the line and be thought of in this moment in history as "over the line" in order for the lines to move and the longer story to reach its destiny. History changes not by obeying the lines, but by moving them. What is it that I stand for? And am I currently standing way behind the line? What am I going to do to get back on the front lines in the fight on poverty and incarceration - the two issues that matter most to me and in reality are one issue intricately linked with hidden agendas and controlled by purse strings of the wealthy.
