An Old Comment

Here is a comment I posted under my July, "Grits" post. I said:

"The anonymous thing is a tough one. I have only been anonymous once in my life (it was a poem I wrote and sent to my dentist when I was 12 about how much I hated the dentist...poor guy!).

But, as a parent, I do have some sympathy for the "anonymous" person and wonder if sometimes people are anonymous not because they are cowards, but because they feel strongly that something needs to be said, but are trying to protect relationships. Sometimes I think life would have been easier for my children (and to be honest me!) this past year if we could have been anonymous about what we believed!"

I believe that more than ever now!
