Thanks so much for reading my post, Sandy. I enjoyed writing about Beech and Hergé. If it's true that autocrats within have a far too strong a hold, then we must rise up. As citizens, we must demand more from our politicians and we must become engaged to let our voices be heard. We have to ask questions and expect some accountability. I think autocrats arise from the weakness in democracy. We have to do our part to strengthen it before it's too late.
It did indeed, take me some time to give me some time to read the post. I especially enjoyed reading and learning about Olive Ann Beech, and Herge. Very cool-both of them-they definitely forged their own paths and seemed to be ambivalent about expectations of others-remarkable in many quiet ways. And our democracy? I fear that the autocrats within have a far too strong a hold and presence already to let their power escape.
