Dear Dan, You have Proven yourself to be one of those rare people with guts, insight and humility to be a star emitting positive energy sustaining those out here who also self-sacrifice, come to trust you and are thankful rather than disappointed. Ken 😉
I have really discovered you late in life. ( I honestly was busy with work, parenting, etc) Now I am retired and can honestly say I will watch you, listen to you, or read whatever you put out. You are so thoughtful and deliberate in what you say. I cannot get enough of such an honest person’s viewpoint. You are amazing sir. Please keep doing whatever you are going to do, you have an audience in me.❤️
Glad you’re doing this, Dan! This country and our world need transformation so deeply that we must all begin wherever we can. I’ve been working for about ten years on a book manuscript titled: “Arguments over Genocide: The War of Words over Cherokee Removal in the Congress and the Supreme Court.” In the hour-long podcast linked to below, I seek to show how these arguments from the 1820s and 1830s—these arguments over what would become the Trail of Tears—continue to determine the law, policy, and conduct of the United States to this day. This podcast is a detailed indictment of the Supreme Court and its “federal Indian law” that even experts in the field can learn from. Every American should know about the depth of our/their complicity in this ongoing injustice. It’s not enough to know that the United States treaties with the Native Nations have been broken—that’s just the beginning of the horror: the beginning of the system of domination and dehumanization the Supreme Court has built on that foundation. The situation is akin to that before Brown v. Board of Education when a system of racism and bigotry that the Supreme Court had been maintaining for decades was the law of the land was revealed as a violation of the Constitution. I would be very grateful if you would read or listen to my podcast and—if you find it worthy—share it widely. In any case, I would love to hear what you think of it.
Dan - I am so glad you are doing this. The world needs a steady, knowledgeable, experienced voice that isn’t afraid to see truth and speak it to power. I had the opportunity to learn from you and I am so glad that continues through this platform.
Dan I so much enjoy the way you articulate what you have to say!! I do NOT think of you as being in your 90th year!! I can't believe I'm in my 73rd as MS has caused me to lose so many productive years. I so often think that the days, weeks, months, and years seem to be flying by, especially b/c of my daughter having died in 1995 and then diagnosis of MS. I haven't worked since 10/2000 when I worked with the public for eight to ten hours per day. I think normalcy is when one interacts with the public so my life is NOT normal. You are very much normal though with the wisdom you impart to us and what you share in that which you write. I appreciate it so much. I miss people, I miss working, I miss a life with experiences. Sadly haven't had any of those in a very long time. So am depressed and don't even care about myself anymore being so lonely with a son who's 48 who hasn't time for his mother. If I die I wonder if he'll care? Hmm maybe for a short time? Life where did you go? Thank you Dan for all that you share. :)
I believe Dan, your next adventure will awaken, excite, tickle, and toy with you, your family's, the publishers, and all of your devoted reader's minds and emotions leaving us angry, sad, happy, confused, and enlightened by your new book. Enjoy writing it.
I remember 1968 Tet Offensive (when I was 15 years old) 53 years ago ,you predicting that the Vietnam War wouldn’t be ending soon !!! And me serving with 3rd Marine Regt. as a contingency of 3rd Marines did the evacuation of South Vietnam

Don’t forget…a blog has no -30- but every writer can use an editor to keep it tight and right!
Wonderful picture! Stay healthy and follow the story!
Dan: Your voice is always a welcome, beautifully modulated and experienced one. Always a pleasure and a "steadying" influence.

You inspired me 50 years ago when I was 15 and you are still inspiring me. Thank you so much, Dan.
