I read a report that a friend of mine was interviewed for re: his protest to the Vietnam war.
My friend is a Renaissance man to say the least. Thoughtful, deep, questioning, bright. Certainly a lover not a fighter. Raised Quaker by progressive parents seeking peace. He was arrested for laying down & blocking the path of a bus holding draftees.
We are a country rich with pacifists and patriots that protest the bad decisions made by our government. Let us learn from this history, their beliefs/convictions.

...that I know was arrested for (very actively) protesting at the School of the Americas in Georgia.
Her attorney offered to serve her time for her but the judge wouldn’t go for it. She spent some months in jail.
Cool Grandma! Look what cool things we can do during retirement!

But I have so much respect for those that have stood up for their beliefs. Some day will have the strength & determination to join their ranks!
