[Vision2020] Yesterday's rally

[Carl Westberg]

There seems to be some dispute regarding the number of people at yesterday's 
rally at Friendship Square.  Quibbling over numbers, and ridiculing those 
who did show up serves what purpose?  I didn't go, because I had to work.  
That's probably true of many of us who supported the rally in spirit, but 
were unable to physically attend.  To dismiss it as a "Loser's Rally" is to 
apparently label 49% of the electorate as losers.  I notice there is going 
to be a march for life event tomorrow in Moscow.  Though I am personally 
pro-choice, I feel no need to ridicule those who will participate in that 
event.  They, like those at Friendship Square (and other locations around 
the country) yesterday, will be taking advantage of one our country's truly 
great strengths.  The right to gather peacefully in support of or in dissent 
of a cause.  And it's quite possible that one or two people who were at 
Friendship Square yesterday will be marching tomorrow.  Will they still be 
losers?
