    So true that fear is our worst enemy. Fear is used to control us. Fear is used in business, religion, politics, etc etc.
    Fear not!!

    MR DICK GREGORY, A LIVING LEGEND OF A MAN, WHO USED HIS FEARLESS BOLD ATTITUDE,TALENT, & VOICE AS A PLATFORM TO REACH GLOBALLY !!! HE WAS MY NEIGHBOR & I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I MOVED TO WASHINGTON, DC FROM VIRGINIA (1994). I FINALLY MET THIS GIANT AT ROCK CREEK PARK ON 16TH STREET, NW ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME, WHERE MY HUSBAND & I BOTH OFTEN WALKED ON THE TRACK,... THERE HE SAT,,, I RECOGNIZED HIM & INTRODUCED HIM TO MY HUSBAND,... THEY SHOOK HANDS,... I RECALL THINKING TO MYSELF : "TWO GREAT MEN & LEGENDS IN HISTORY..." !!! WOW, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! REST ON SIR & POWER TO YOUR FAMILY.

    I feel fortunate to have seen this terrific human being, Mr Gregory. His pain transformed by humour he became an Laughing Buddha bringing Truth into our Hearts if we could listen. He comforted all who hear him. He took our fear of each other and ourselves towards ourselves so we can walk through what scares us the most. Dick Gregory asked us to evolve from our survivalist selfish selves to people who could imagine fasting to memorialise his dear friend--Mr Ali, Celebrated, Poet and Fighter, at age 70. Truth and Compassion place us on the trail towards Freedom--we must each reach past our pain and fear to embrace Love. Thanks

    As I sit here LMAO, I remember reading (as a "tween" in the late '70s - early '80s) my Pop's copy of Gregory's "Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat" - the blistering comedic pace & the introduction of wild concepts like "breatharianism" absolutely blew my young mind. What a singular personality - peace and blessings to Mr. Gregory and family! And many thanks, Democracy Now!

He was one of the people in a book called 1001 people who made America. Dam i wish i had a chance to meet him he was one of the influences on my life that made me look at things in a completely different aspect. Thanks for all you have contributed Mr. Gregory
