Courageous Kid

Here's a view of University Avenue, looking west from the Capitol. Imagine the future light rail line running down the middle...it's coming.

"I support you." That was what one young girl said to me from amidst her class as they passed by me on the Senate stairs at the Capitol yesterday. It's got to take a lot of courage to speak up and open yourself up to ridicule from others in your class like that. I suppose it's possible that things have changed so much that it doesn't take a lot of courage, these days, to do what she did, but I think it does.
