I finally remembered who Cindy Sheehan reminds me of: |
|
That guy in Tiananmen Square who stood in front of the tank.
You remember the picture.

1. A big part of me hopes she fares better than this guy. |
|
Although, if she fares just as poorly, we might see some changes in this country.

7. Poorly? From what I recall, he stopped the tanks a good bit, then melted |
|
back into the crowd. That image moved the world.

19. Don't sweat the small stuff. Even if he had been shot or whatever, |
|
it's still one of the most amazing things ever. One guy, standing up to tanks. In China. Where they'd shoot you in the head and send your mom a bill for the bullet. I just realized I dont know anything at all about courage.

11. Since all the 'most powerful people in the world' are using helicopters |
|
in order to avoid Cindy Sheehan, I'd say she's doin pretty well ;)

I hope it makes her feel good. She's got some guts, that's for damn sure.

16. Do you know him? Want to ask him? |
|
I just put this appeal up in a new thread. I think blm's idea is nothing short of brilliant.
