This forum, over the past few weeks.months has gotten frankly... UGLY! This is a tremendously sad day for many. It is unimaginably sad for the Schindlers, for the many wonderful people who have been outside the hospice for the past two weeks, and it has been very sad for many of us who feel they finally have a place that they are able to voice their opinions and views, on Free Republic.
Terri Schiavo passed away today and in my heart and the hearts of most here, she is now with the Lord. Yet, there are those who feel it necessary to continue on this day, of all days, to blast our Government, the President, the Governor, Michael Schiavo, Felos, Greer, DU, other Freepers and anyone else they can think of... May I suggest that for today, we simply grieve together... We share our hopes and prayers for Terri's family. We pray that Terri has found peace and if need be, we pick up our in-fighting and our showings of the uglier side of Free Republic tomorrow.
I unfortunately feel this thread will not get as much attention as the others but I hope we can, just for today, leave our differences at the door...

Hi Dave, thank you for the sanity ping. I'm in.
Amen! I am with you brother!
Good luck!
not gonna happen by the way....
Probably the best thing to do is simply stay off of FR today, and quietly reflect on these matters.
Im in...I can use a " Bash-the-Newbie" free day.
my gritted teeth and clenched fists are beginning to feel less tense already... I've been as guilty as everyone else, I just think this is the wrong day for it... :)
I agree with you. (Although, I am shocked that it took 3 posts before one criticized you in some way.)
We all know who the real enemy is......
I agree with TheDon. It will be quite awhile before the Schiavo acrimony dies down here, and even without it there's plenty of flamage. This is a fine request of yours, but an unrealistic one. If you want to avoid the flames, it's best to take a holiday from this place.
I am in too! Let's all get along. FEEL THE FREEPER LOVE!!!!! :D
I'm with you BUMP!
I like your freepername.
What? No photos?
I am now taking bets on how long until this thread is hit with it's first Bash.
I am betting before post 23.
If we show division over this, it will take away the spotlight on the liberal Clymers dancing on Terri's grave. Let THEM be what America remembers out of this whole sad day.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
