So you will know, this group of agnostics was welcomed into the crowd with very little identification of anyone at all being of a particular group. We were all group. The ones referred to were more raucous, more attention-getting, but were welcomed with charity as well. We had great support from a wiccan as well.
There was no grouping as such except the pitiful few who supported Michael and Greer. I saw no separation of protesters and vigil-doers. It didn't happen. We were in unity.
This is what we were regardless of our own personal reasons. Mine was my faith. To break us down as either RALLIES and PROTESTS or Religious Right people is to not see what actually took place.
That is where the press was and that is where we made our points, all of them, extremely clear, and some even made it past the cutting room floor.
The disabled people I honor on my separate thread today are the ones who unlike the referenced who bared their sores for all to see, were quietly stating by their presence their concern. Their statement was eloquent.
ya know... this typo actually works. "Untied States"
Thanks for your eyewitness account.
I think the MSM is trying to "divide and conquer" by constantly making the point that the "Christian right" is supporting Terri, to make everyone else back off, thinking, that if the "CR" is for it, they have to be against it.
But, as usual, people are smarter than the media.
This is an issue, that everyone should be deeply concerned about for their own selfish reasons -- it could be them -- AND it tests people's compassion. It is quite amazing and sad, how many people have no compassion.
