Zerbie,
I was listening to NPR in the car the other day, and they were covering protests about Prop 8. All I could hear in the background was "SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU!" I wasn't sure who was protesting.
I learned it was a anti-prop 8 group protesting at a large Mormon church.
The day before, I had been reading about Ghandi on Wikipedia (I'm rather a newb to actually DOING something non-violent and civilly disobedient), and one of his precepts was that we will not be verbally violent either. I decided that it didn't matter that I was also anti-prop 8...there's more than enough shame in the world already. Chanting it at a protest isn't helping.
That night, I found you guys.
