Bless your heart, I remember when you lost your son, and I've thought about that as this discussion rolled on--your grief was just as deep and as real as hers, I'm sure, but I've yet to see you join forces with Code Pink and Michael Moore. (And would be VERY surprised if you did!)
I think that in order to do something like that at any time--with or without a death in the family--it has to already be in a person's makeup.
You will come for me if you see me on TV, won't you? LOL.
