Gandhi, Fighting the Judicial Filibuster, and Good Music

I went to see Catie Curtis and Julie Wolf play on Wednesday night. (It was a special gift from my sweetheart.) What a great concert! A lot of fun, and it was in a great space -- the new World Cafe Live performance venue. (Try the hummus platter, too.)

Anyway, Julie has a quote I want to remember when it feels like the Radical Right are taking over the U.S., plowing through our government and our schools and into our homes and lives. Here it is:

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, always.
--Gandhi

Of course, the tyrants always fall because good people do something to help the process along. For example, today that might mean calling your Senator and telling them to vote "No" on the changes to do away with the judicial filibuster. The filibuster is our friend.
