At the risk of belaboring this ugly family feud, I need to make it clear that the choice to minimize DC Freeper photos was made by me based on the FRN leadership's request to only show FRN chapter FReep photos (after all this slide show was to be shown principally at the FRN conference.)

Even then I bent that requirement by including some non-FRN chapter FReeper photos in the general FReep events sections and in the FReeper/Sept. 11 memorial sections. I did this because it is not possible to show the entire FReeper experience by limiting the scope to just FRN chapters (I personally have a problem with drawing such a strong division between FRN and non-FRN FReeper chapters, as we are all FReepers first and formost.)

For those who attended the conference and were able to see the slide show, they know that it was meant to be both a joyful celebration and hopeful tribute to those lost in the past 2 years. But mostly in both extremes its aim was to bring FReepers closer together and reflect on what great (practically miraculous) accomplishments we have performed, when we work together and don't worry about who gets credit for the success.

Sure some worked harder than others, but they know what they did and that it was the right thing to do at the right time, and that is what matters. If we have time enough to reflect on who did the most in the past, we obviously have too much time on our hands and are not working as hard as we can for the future of our country - like we did in that past time. (Frankly that applies to almost every FReeper, as we seem to have more opinion flame war posts than FReep reports lately.)

Let us find the motivation to improve this country under a freindly Administration as compelling as we did under a hostile one. As much as we hope to retain conservative political control, we know that the liberals have to regain control to survive politically. Vigelence is the price of FReedom.
