We are Everywhere, trying to put down this absurd, raging fire of prejudice. Never give into it. Ever. We all can change this, in our own ways. Tomorrow I'm doing something similar. A black and purple band around my arm. Questions will be asked and dutifully answered. Knowledge and spoken wisdom can accomplish so much in our world. Spread Sophia, spread wisdom, like a trickle, then a river, then a tide of waves to put out the fire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-61888688098583801742010-11-23T11:18:31.328-05:002010-11-23T11:18:31.328-05:00Damn, truly interesting post.

However after reading about Brett Martin, I consider myself so very fortunate. I hope his attackers rot in Hell and I am delighted that they are going to prison. Let 'Big Dave' and his gang show them what happens to people like that. I know violence does not solve things but let's not pretend that we wouldn't get some gratification knowing that they were getting 10 bells knocked out of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-61151012265502130252008-02-29T20:02:00.000-05:002008-02-29T20:02:00.000-05:00Today, the killers were sentenced for Brent Martin...Today, the killers were sentenced for Brent Martin's murder, They must serve 22, 18 and 15 years - see link below, which also reports that during the attack, done for a £5 bet, Brent apologised to his attackers.

The fact that he didn't fight back saddens me because I work with people that have various disabilities and all I could think was what if this happened to someone I support, would they fight back? To be honest, most of them I don't think would and that lead me to my next concern, who would wear a black armband for them? All I know for sure is that we need to stand up as a community and say "ENOUGH" just like you wanted to scream out. Maybe if enough of us yell that then someone will hear us and one day this kind of malicious abuse and hatred will STOP!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-72518778710196831182008-01-15T18:26:00.000-05:002008-01-15T18:26:00.000-05:00I'm a day late, but better late then never.
