of no particular importance

"How is it possible, that this congressman, who is of no particular importance, is doing this -- by himself?"

An irate, functionary-type military station chief bursts out with this question toward the end of the film, "Charlie Wilson's War," as the arms-and-training support arranged by Wilson for the Afghans turns the tide of that war, in the 80s, forcing the Russian communist aggressors to reverse course ("which way Moscow??")...
But, you know, Success and Progress seems always to irritate some people --
love that, "...this congressman who is of no particular importance..."

This morning I was thinking the off-hand inspiration of that scene in the movie (a true story) matches up with a quote I found last week --
"One man can make a difference, and every man should try."
-------
[written on a card for an exhibit which travelled around the U.S. when the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston was first opening (1979)]
-------
Charlie Wilson exemplified that idea.
Before he -- well -- sort of -- ended the Cold War - have-a-nice-day, he had been on a list someone compiled of the 25 least effective congressmen.

"One man can make a difference, and every man should try."
That's why, no matter world conditions or local mish-mash or negativity, we --
work
decorate
try-to-make-something-good-happen
love
vote
get out of bed in the morning.
