Times they are a-changin'...I hope

Over the past couple of weeks we have seen former generals, Republican senators and congressmen, and even some radio personalities come out against the Bush administration on certain issues. We are also seeing more mainstream reports publishing articles exposing the foibles of the administration. They are so many to list (NSA, Hookergate, etc.) but you know what I am talking about. I have been to two large medical conferences in Rochester, NY, and Albany, NY, in the past week - at both conferences multiple speakers made jokes and political innuendos regarding the administration. On most occasions the comments were well received. I hope that more people feel the need to publicly speak their minds without feeling that they will be labeled as unamerican or unpatriotic. It may not seem like a big deal to most but in a time with little hope of better things to come, I will take what I can get.
