Rally to Restore Sanity
2010-10-30

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert called for a rally in Washington to address the climate of fear and the need for civility and mutual respect. I was there. My family was there. We brought some friends with us, too. Here is a link to the official rally web page. Here is a link to the rally's Wikipedia page.

It became clear, quickly, that American Muslims appreciated the call for mutual respect -- like with the first person we met at the rally.

Hoosiers, too.

Not everyone got this message about respect, but we still managed to get along.

I'm still thinking about this one.

I am thinking about the order of operations for making a sign. How about thinking of what to say first, and then buying the poster board?

The small space of a sign does tend to push messages to generalizations.

All in favor of the motion, please raise your hand.

This came across as sincere.

Get on the Peace Train, or the Love Train, or the Metrorail, if you can.

Here are the trains that Metrorail was not using while thousands of people waited for trains.
