16. Wrong words and actions = death also.

The framework of an argument and the manner in which it is presented are important also.

When in doubt, don't just do something .... stand there ..... at least for a moment.

17. Apathy = Oppression ??

I'm saddened, yet not surprised, to see how the momentum of our community's activism has died off so quickly after Prop 8's passage. I was hoping the outrage over Obama's choice of Rev. Rick Warren would reignite our community into action -- protests, marches, non-violent acts of civil disobedience, etc. Maybe we will see the large numbers of participants once again come Jan. 10th for Join the Impact's National DOMA Protest.
