Dear Ron,
Of course I saw your post about the silence!! Yes, I readily and
completely admit that I should have given you credit for thinking
about the silence first. However, your idea of a rally with no words
is novel, but I will have to give it some thought. Conversely,
Starchild's idea of just a few minutes of silence is something I
consider not only doable but desirable for effect.
No dissing intended!

federal building by the hundreds of thousands and not saying a
word -
just standing there in silent protest - just a solid block of
humanity and no wordy speeches - just the sound of silence??? >
