I like it.. totally neutral intro... and let the piece speak for itself.  Bowers' compilation is truly powerful.  I am going to send it on to some people too.

Granted, I think it is so great that you and your father can talk and really accept and love each other. So many of us have shattered families solely on this issue. Bush and the right wing have really divided this nation like never before.

Thing is, when things were going the way of the LEFT, I feel like there was tremendous tolerance toward the more rigid people in our society.  I hate to say it, but look where tolerance got us?  It's a shame.  We let Rush just rattle and shrill right along... rolling out eyes.  It's a shame. The human condition is truly baffling.
