Mouse click’s a meek protest

Fri., April 8, 2011

Regarding “Afghan riots claim nine – Rage over Quran burning continues”:

And what do Americans do when we see our flag burnt and otherwise desecrated? Whoa, we send and forward emails with pictures to “everyone in our mailbox” over the Internet with a note: “Please send this to everybody in your mailbox.” As if that will stop all this nonsense.

Do we have protests? Heck no. Just people whining to “each other,” as if that does any good.

We all need to get together and protest like the folks in the Mideast do. Maybe we could get some reaction like they do.
