Any Night-Owl Networkers out there.
The Rally for Sanity and/or Fear has started in Washington DC
Just music so far and lots of Tweeps Tweeting in the Twitterverse.
Crowds beyond number.
If you Twitter, read the Tweets at #rally4sanity.
I went to bed with my eyeballs hanging out before the conclusion -
so some stuff is not recorded.
I am therefore reliant on a transcript for Jon Stewart's serious 'sincerity' speech.
I think - with a few different proper nouns - the same speech could be applicable
to and in the Land of Oz.
Networkers - please, please, go here to read Jon Stewart's speech plus
the Rolling Stone version.
The dominant voice can bust up our community while it gets its own way.
It is the coming together with respect for differing and different voices -
that's what is the thing.
Coming together! Listening to each other!
In all our glorious diversity.
That's what really, truly matters.
As Jon says,
IF WE AMPLIFY EVERYTHING, WE HEAR NOTHING.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
