Most years when I pass the sunflower fields their heads are held high. This year, they are bent, no matter the weather, sunny, rainy, windy. I want to tell them jokes, that the world really is a beautiful place, except sometimes I don't believe it myself. The planet is beautiful, there are some beautiful people and if I stay just with the ones I care about, it is all right. but when I look at the crazies, like those issuing death threats to legislators that are voting for health care, or the people on Medicare (a government program) who say keep your government hands off my health care, or those 12% of North Carolinas that don't know Hawaii is part of the US or or or, I wonder if maybe those sunflowers are right.
