Subject: FW: Ma'am "Don't you care about the Children!?
In case you haven't seen this yet, here's a quote from an email that
we received today. It's from a Government employee who witnessed a recent
interaction between an elderly woman and an anti-war protestor in a
Metro station in Wash. DC:
"... there were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets
on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one. An elderly woman
was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20ish) female
protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.
The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a
gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, "Ma'am, don't you care about
the children of Iraq?"
The old woman looked up at her and said, "Honey, my first husband died
in France during World War II so you could have the right to stand here and bad
mouth your country. And if you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your
ass and open it."
