3. What did you get to say? What was their attitude toward what you
had to say? Did they seem unbiased and just wanted viewpoints?

5. They just wanted viewpoints
They asked me why I was there. What my views were. Why I felt it was important enough to be there today. Things like that.

I hope I didn't look like an idiot.

10. Ok, it was basically a one woman show
I was just out there to counter the Right To Lifers that were outside my building praying. I do so enjoy pissing them off.

Mission Accomplished!

Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 01:31 PM by RubyDuby in GA
and the Terri Schiavo case has come up here from Florida.

That's why they're here. Nutjobs....
Being a southeastern liberal atheist, they scare me too :scared:
