disease that isabel struggles with. i certainly have never heard of it. and the disease that isabel has helped find medical breakthroughs for treatment. they could not have known that they were sentencing isabel personally to death with that letter. but after this week's news coverage of the story, many of them do know now. we have to try to make sure that they all know in the hope that somewhere we will find a sympathetic ear connected to an open heart, someone who can begin to turn this decision around in the days that are left before isabel is scheduled to be deported to her death. politics of governing is far more complex than the politics of campaigning. and the politics of campaigning, you are just trying to beat the other side. the politics of governing, you are trying to persuade the other side. in your own lives you know the tone and vocabulary that you adopt for persuasion is very different from the tone that you bring to open argument.
