Can we please call a truce in here
There are strong opinions on both sides of the issue. Noone is likely to change their opinion based on communication on this bulletin board...

All of this infighting saddens me, and I believe it takes away from our ability to mobilize to make the needed changes in our country.

Please put down your flamethrowers and be nice.

2. Yes, you can call for it

but don't expect it to happen

People with strong opinions on a subject are the least likely to be satisfied with a cease fire, verbal or otherwise.

4. I'm playing nice...:)
I promise...:) It seems by most polls i have seen, the anti's are a solid 75 percent, and the pro's are a solid 25%...i think, we can get along...can't we?

Don't forget the elections in iraq, bushco's dumbass speech today, Diebold Ceo resigning....a lot more things worth flaming!...:)

6. K/W, if you hated this
wait till '08. We'll tear ourselves to shreds just in time to help some obscure, low-rent, hate-everything Repiglican become President.

7. The best we can hope for is pockets of sanity
like this one right here.

Kind of reminds me of the Schiavo days.

Ignore is going to be my friend, I predict.

8. I'm with KW.....
Congress is putting Katrina victims off until Feb of 2006.
Grannies are selling pills to keep the heat on.
And real American hero's (our troops) die every day.

There is more important shit going on!!!

It is possible to disagree without assuming one's opponent has the worst conceivable motivation and character....

12. Someone else is justifying murder!
I don't think that's ever acceptable! No matter what the person has done in their past!

14. I am asking everyone to leave their "weapons" at the door
At least for tonight. It is a sad night, whether you mourn the victims, Tookie or both. Please, I disagree with the DP as well but we can be bigger than what this has become tonight.
