The time to take action and to be a part of a real political and social transformation has long passed. Her decision may have been marginal, or it could have been significant with a real historical and epic magnitude. Either way, I feel the tremendous opportunity has been missed. I feel, in this regard, that there may have been too much word and not enough deed. I'm still fond of her and her work, but I'm puzzled by the fact that she knows that this is important, and that she is important to many people, and she may have let political calculations give pause in her ability to help a great number of people.
