Ivan:
this is the best response to this situation i have seen so far
PD cuts across artificial boundaries we put up
subdividing humanity
you listed an impressive representation of accomplished parkies
i couldn't snip a word
responsibility for the spirit of this list
is found within each one of us
just as it is in life
the world changes -- for better or worse
an individual at a time
we can only try to improve
i have seen good and bad on this list
we can only try to improve
by showing compassion to those who need it
someday roles may reverse
