Please, let me be the first to proclaim and accuse myself of "self serving interests", archetypical of the "white man". I believe the subject lady should have a day in March established as an official Virginia holiday in anticipation of the Nation's, yet to be recognized and future, quest to honor a woman and a minority. If we shamelessly exploited her before, why not again? Maybe more diplomatically, if the Catholic church can honor martyrs as saints, why not the Commonwealth? Isn't it the same promotional game? I believe the General Assembly convenes 17 January 2006. I bear my "sin" before you and await your claws. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
