That was very nice to listen to. Carol Blue has a pretty sonorous voice herself. Miss the Hitch every time I read a news article that he can no longer speak on. He consistently broadened my mind, and opened it up to the one (or several) arguement I had yet to think of - agree with him or not. No-one can take that position. A lot of people I read re-affirm my believes - Hitchens, no matter how much I agree with him,and particularly then, always challenged them. I suspect because he always challenged his own thoughts. Who else? Please tell me?
