I was struck by this quote from a Anti Nuclear Weapon Rally
Claire Gelinas and Deborah Crump didn’t walk to the May 2 convocation, but were inspired to come by peace walkers who rested at their church, First Universalist Church of Norway, Maine, they said in an interview before the convocation.
Pessimism, Gelinas said, almost stopped her from making the trip to New York. “But then I decided I wanted to be around people who are feeling hopeful and who want to make the change happen,” she said.
Crump had a different reason: “After I read that the U.S. is the only country in the world to have dropped a nuclear weapon, I felt it was my responsibility as a U.S. citizen to come,” she said.
Well at least she learned an actual fact. It's much better than thoughtless commenters on a number of sites who comment they used to be a Christian until they learned that "more wars are fought in the name of religion than anything else" or "the Inquisition was responsible for 80 million deaths" (actual comments). I just think, they must be learning about the world history from Bill Maher or Sarah Silverman, which is very scary.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point!!! I guess I am just shocked that adults could "just learn of this"
