We need a simple, lasting, mass observance
Edited on Sat Apr-10-04 01:42 AM by scottxyz
The cat's out of the bag now. What many on the web have known for months, the whole country now knows.

The country is finally waking up - to feelings of anger and grief and horror at what happened and why.

Some people are proposing a march on Washington demanding impeachment. This may be problematic to organize and finance and televise. But the American people are are feeling something very strong right now - and we should find a way to express it publicly - and locally - and massively.

How about something simple and non-partisan and symbolic? Something like the yellow ribbons or the little patriotic flags.

Maybe just a black ribbon and a white ribbon - of mourning and hope - compassion for what happened, and resolve to never let it happen again.

Any suggestions?

1. We could pin turds to our lapels
but that symbolism is probably too direct.

2. Black ribbons over everthing, mourning the death of our country
that will exist until the Asshole Buttmunch Intellect-hating Moran In Chief is impeached.

3. I do like the black but worry it would be too negative
I was thinking black to say what Clarke said - "I am sorry" - and white to move on.

Or just any color ribbon saying in our diversity we all are one in condemning what our government did / didn't do and vowing it will never happen again.

4. A Republican Congress is never going to impeach Shrub.
It just isn't going to happen.

5. Nor should it
Let these dirty bastards outsmart themselves by running out the clock. We don't want any of these criminals charged while Idiot still holds pardon power, do we?
