If you admire someone that presumably dies in jail whether it is a soldier, a politician, a prisoner, a journalist or a famous sports person; I respect your admiration Eric. Are you saying you cannot respect mine? Navalny is a man that I sincerely admire because of his courage to speak out and if you do not see that at least let me appreciate it. I consider any other view in regards to my views on such matters as censorship. Something I have NEVER done to you; NEVER

If you want to stretch the meaning of political we could also include topics you have recently posted. I do not choose to squabble about minor irritations that bother me or anyone here. But instead to move forward as a spiritual site honoring those who have done courageous and therefore spiritual feats in their life. While we attempt to live with such people as our individual examples of towering spirituality.

Navalny was much like Mandela who spent 20 years in prison before becoming the leader of South Africa. If Navalny had lived longer he too may have gone on to be a great leader. You may think both of them were not worth admiring. Whatever your opinion is I do not contest it here. And you have a right to admire who you consider a spiritual giant regardless of my views.
