Well, the convention is in full swing - I'm sure you're keeping up with it. All the speeches sound like they were made in heaven. I played for a fancy dinner of a group of lawyers one time - a string quartet it was. Everyone looked great in their suits and power ties and lavish dresses. The speeches came before we played so we heard them all. We didn't mind, we were getting paid by the hour. All the things said sounded so high minded and idealistic I was mesmerized. Then I remembered they were just words. The distance between words and deeds is great - very great. I wonder if politicians believe anything they say - maybe they just like the limelight. Who really knows?
