Stephan:   Today I was a Bernie Sanders delegate at the county Democratic caucus. I will have more to say about caucuses  and the caucus vs. primary options at another time. What I want to share now is a conversation I had as I was leaving after a long day in an auditorium where it was dim and musty, while outside it was bright, warm, and beautiful. A woman in her late fifties or early sixties, who at a glance I would have guessed was a Republican, came up to me. She introduced herself, and said she was an SR reader. Before coming to the caucus she had read the piece I ran about Iraq in yesterday's edition. We talked about it for a moment when she suddenly said, "Why aren't they in jail? I ask myself that. It's like the banks. You can't run a country without honor.  We're a military family. My youngest was killed on his second tour, my favorite nephew, his best friend, walks with a cane. Bush, Cheney and the rest; they're all happily retired. I particularly dislike Cheney because I know he's draft dodger. He never served in war, none of them did. They're murderers, they just got kids like my son to pull the trigger." I was struck by her passion, and I agreed with it. She walked away then turned and looked back,  "And we're still at it. Why? What has it given us?" I came home and sat down to do today's edition and saw this report -- a synchronicity I took seriously.
