Has Massachusetts degenerated so far that the land of Adams, Emerson,
Thoreau and Webster is no longer a place where people get together to trade
ideas, listen and learn? The ante-bellum Lyceum was an inportant part of
New England culture for many years. Are you all content to listen to Faux
News, now, and to swallow whatever the Administration tells you without
question? Frankly, I thought the best thing about that article wasn't Cindy
Sheehan or the topic of the forum but the idea that the spirit of the Lyceum
still lives.

That description also fits visionaries and prophets.

You know, instead of having a cow over Cindy Sheehan attending this forum
(and where would the US be today, if we had never risen up and protested
what we thought were injustices?), you might consider the following actions:

1. Get down on your knees and spend a good, long while thanking God that
one of *your* children didn't get killed in Iraq and ask for God's help and
understanding to put yourself in the place those who have lost children,
like Cindy Sheehan, many other military moms and the hundreds of thousands
of bereaved Iraqis. Ask for God's enlightenment on the value of our foreign
policy in light of the Second Great Commandment. You might also pray that
the war ends before one of your children faces a draft.

2. Ask yourself whether or not losing additional lives is likely to
achieve any significant result. Ask what has been accomplished to date.
Ask what happened to the Administration's assurances that we would be
welcomed as liberators.

3. Surf on over to operation-helmet.org and help save some lives.

- OR -

You could just drink the Kool-Aid, accept the Chickenhawk's notion that
Cindy Sheehan's long-range plan in life was to get one of her sons killed
for her own political gain and, the next time Liberals get together to
protest the war, go participate in a counter-protest to show you "support
the troops."
