all these “vigils” (not just for VT) are worthless. Libs are great at them... crawl out, show “support”, crawl back.

Don’t more than a handful of freepers maintain an ongoing vigil of support for the troops, in Olney MD. The News/Activism sidebar shows a handful of them. I don’t recall you posting your thoughts on any of those threads.
I think it would be better if we simply recognized that there is a difference between showing support and “becoming one with the victims”.
Just a thought.
Not at all the same thing! I thought my description was clear enough, but I do apologize for the misunderstanding. I'm talking about whenever something tragic happens you get one of these "let's light candles, hold hands, and sing kumbaya" type events that are very shallow. I live near Chapel Hill, NC and Lord knows I see these things all the time for the cause du jour.
What's going on at Olney, Walter Reed, etc... that's quite different.
