We are not "war protestors";
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 06:40 AM by Skidmore
we are mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, wives and husbands, daughters and sons, neighbors, schoolmates, fellow congregants, coworkers, fellow citizens of the nation and the globe. This movement needs to be redefined by us a movement FOR PEACE and our hands should be extended in PEACE all mankind.

2. That's too much of a mouthful for the MSM, though...
...so they strain it down, simplify it up, give it a little spin and voila, they're "war protestors"...

I find that a little lazy, actually.
