Kudo's all Around

There are some who find the Bloggers United for Cuban Liberty acronym , BUCL, unfortunate. I'm not one of them. It's always reminded me of a line from Macbeth. In describing the disintegration of Macbeth's illegitimate government, a character says, "He cannot buckle his distempered cause/ within the belt of rule." And so we may hope, it will prove for our very own villain.

All musing aside, however, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved with the BUCL campaign. Whatever the outcome, they are reasoned campaigns that make it that much more difficult for the msm and the public to ignore us. The Invisible Ones campaign struck just the right note, not too strident, informative, and inclusive. "See, don't you think this is terrible," it says.

There are some to whom these campaigns seem too small, not large enough in scope or participation. It is a beginning, a constructive one at that. There's a children's nursery rhyme that goes
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
All for want of a horseshoe nail.

Ojala!
