A little less light in the world today...

In the Jan. 11 column, which opposed the troop escalation, Ivins wrote “We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war....If you can, go to the peace march in Washington on Jan. 27. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, 'Stop it, now!'"

Our country was blessed and made richer with Molly's wit and wisdom. I hope the echoes of her words continue to guide us to be the nation we can and should be.

I'll miss you, Ms. Ivins.
