I haven't made the jump, Peter.
But I am giving serious study to the chasm.
I'm particularly curious about a personal liability that stems from Pepper's time in Rhode Island; it initially surfaced as he began to gain some traction for his MLK work, then suddenly went away around the time of the TV ambush.
Either the story was fabricated and wouldn't stand up to scrutiny, or it was real and made to go away in exchange for God knows what.
I hesitate to be more specific given the sordid nature of this business. Suffice to say that Pepper has journeyed from movement hero to particularly vulnerable target to exposed buffoon and now back toward movement hero.
You're right, Peter: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
And sometimes it's a cancer delivery system.
I remain of an open if suspicious mind on Dr. Pepper.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
