A Non-Verbal Symbol For Our Cause

[Albert Doyle]

Translation in English:



Albert, I translated / phrased it "productive action", you phrased it "something that does something" -- what is the something that is done? IOW: what is accomplished? A salute? Maybe I can get Little Orphan Annie's decoder ring next Saturday and be sure to buy my Ovaltine, as well. I know it seems that Mr. Prior is being harshly criticized, but this is a war zone. If a combatant was really aware that he was engaged in an actual battle, yet came to the field to aid his new comrades with a weapon that was incapable of hurting the enemy would he be met with open arms and a hardy slap on the back? I think not. Better for the novice to be initiated in Boot Camp than in the trenches.

This is a revolution, Mr. Prior. A revolution of mind. It is not the typical revolution involving violence, nor does it involve the change of any government. It is a revolution that must first take place internally. Only then can the message be heard and take root externally.

I like Mark's four finger salute because it penetrates the overweaponized Homeland defenses in an almost Gandhian way. I guess what I'm saying here is something is better than nothing.
