A little insight...

[Sapphire Blue]

I don't have the big DU name or following, don't have the writing capabilities of the esteemed H20 Man, and don’t have especially popular positions on some issues (was called a fanatic & worse for supporting the late Stan Williams’ clemency, while being attacked w/some intense hatred.)

What I have is my conscience and a strong determination to live according to my conscience… with what time I have left. No, I am not presently terminal, but I am living w/three different types of cancer. This has made death very real to me… and motivates me to make every remaining second of my life count for something, to make a positive difference. Perhaps this will help some of you to understand where my passion/obsession/fanaticism comes from… and perhaps you will cut me a little slack when coming across my passionate/obsessive/fanatic posts in the future.

In the words of Elie Wiesel, “Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.” (from his Nobel Acceptance Speech: http://www.eliewieselfoundation.org/ElieWiesel/speech.html)

My life belongs “to all those who need us desperately.” Every second that I have left.
