John Edwards was a son of a textile mill worker. "My very first house was in Seneca, South Carolina. It was a small house in the mill village next to the factory where my mother's family had worked and not far from the mill where my father worked".... HOME, The Blueprints of Our Lives, Edited by John Edwards, Harper Collins Books, 2006. In this book, the following share their childhood memories: Mario Batali, Benicio Del Toro, Ben Cohen, Bob Dole, Gary Eisner, James Fisher, John Glenn, Danny Glover, Katherine Jefferson, Delores Leona, John Mellencamp, Sugar Ray Leonard, Meredith Moon, Judi Patton, Steven SPielberg, Viola Wert, Narciso Rodriguez, Fannie Phillips, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Catherine Pease, John Rehfuss, Franklin Graham, Maya Lin, Kathy Mabry, Anita Koser, Yvonne Morrison, ..... Good reading. I recommend it. I advised that we go to Iraq to apprehend Saddam and bring him here to stand trial for crimes against Iraqi, Iranian, and American humanity to the extent he is culpable. John Edwards voted to authorize the campaign in Iraq based on trumped up charges of WMD. We had W to prosecute such vote. That is the essence of John Edwards' apology. He apologised to humanity for having been coerced into voting for an ill-executed war. That is virtue. When it became apparent the prosecutor of the war is wanting in discernments and jurisprudence, John Edwards opposed it with vehemence. Obama absented himself from many a senatorial vote, for expedition sakes. John Edwards was chosen by John Kerry as Vice Presidential running mate. It says a lot about a man when his peers think him suitable for President. John Edwards has another foundation to help Carolina's rural and poor families, Black and white; Not just black!!! But the yield benefitted disproportionately black for statistical reasons. It continues to afford haven for the Appalachicola and Piedmont poor. John Edwards' Law firm is an advocacy firm, akin to Environmental lawyering and the Innocence project. It was trained on extending democracy to the bosoms of the illiterate, powerless, and defenseless. Obama was sowing the seeds of future political gains (we call it grass-roots campaigns). He followed in exquisite footsteps. Please share with us tangible secours for the down-trodden and the unemployed. The Steel Workers Union, The Mine workers Union, and The Carpenters Union stand with John Edwards. Was Obama not fighting for them??? Speak with Erskine Bowles of Albert Gore fame. Erskine knows Obama and Edwards both. John Edwards' policy papers on Health and the Economy are re-presented, with twitchings, by Clinton and Obama. Obama is good. Clinton is good. John Edwards is better. A review of their senatorial votes will share enormous wisdom. Edwards-Obama or Edwards-Clinton is formidable. Haruna. **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
