I finally remembered who Cindy Sheehan reminds me of:
That guy in Tiananmen Square who stood in front of the tank. You remember the picture. Redstone

1. A big part of me hopes she fares better than this guy.
Although, if she fares just as poorly, we might see some changes in this country.

7. Poorly? From what I recall, he stopped the tanks a good bit, then melted
back into the crowd. That image moved the world.

10. One of the great images of modern times. I think you are right
he wasn't caught, he just ran off.

19. Don't sweat the small stuff. Even if he had been shot or whatever,
it's still one of the most amazing things ever. One guy, standing up to tanks. In China. Where they'd shoot you in the head and send your mom a bill for the bullet. I just realized I dont know anything at all about courage.

11. Since all the 'most powerful people in the world' are using helicopters
in order to avoid Cindy Sheehan, I'd say she's doin pretty well ;)

12. I bet she'll feel flattered to be compared with that guy.

I hope it makes her feel good. She's got some guts, that's for damn sure. Redstone

I just put this appeal up in a new thread. I think blm's idea is nothing short of brilliant. Redstone
