Class and Poise
It was a proud moment to be a Jerseyan as I listened to the Rutgers Lady Knights and coach speak about the hurt and suffering caused by Don Imus and crew. They spoke from the heart with anger and grief, yet they showed poise beyond there years. There message was brought to the public with grace and dignity. I applaud them for the way they handled themselves, it reinforces my faith in youth.

This story just keeps unfolding, spreading and broadening.
Now, Thursday PM, I have just heard that Imus has been fired. I have mixed feelings about this, because, if we could take him at his word, he might have begun using his show to actually try to right some of the underlying forces that made his comment so powerfully offensive.
I do know that when he has a passion for a cause, he is a strong voice. That's obvious when you consider the impact of his racial comment. But will we ever know if he could have turned things around to the good, by taking an active stance to do the right thing.
Only time will tell.
