Thank you, Chas.

This kinda reminds me of the Aryan Nations Neo-Nazi parade of years gone 
by that had taken place in Coeur d'Alene.

Tony Stewart, a professor of political science at North Idaho College and 
long-time member of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations, 
started a campaign where contributors would donate money for each mile 
marched in the parade by its participants.  The title given to this 
campaign was something along the lines of "Donate Against Hate" or 
something like that.

The money raised by Tony's campaign exceeded all expectations.

Question:  Was it wrong for Tony Stewart to organize such a campaign, Mr. 
Harkins?
