Heroes

This couple, by their tiny actions, are American heroes. I've lately found myself in positions of imminent arrest because of anti-war activities and I know how dry the mouth gets, how the pulse spikes, how drained is the blood from the limbs. It's scary, truly, to face arrest even for a small crime.

So these two Menonites? Hurrah.

You are the hero. I hope you are
strongly connected to others who also protest the war.Cool it and survive. If you protest alone, I fear you they will see you as easy prey. Recently I was visciously attacked at the gym by a woman who is aggressively against abortion and pro war. That was frightening enough for me.

It never ceases to amaze me. People who support the violent defense of freedoms don't recognize those freedoms when they are exercised in broad daylight.
