"How silly. If you want to take a stand, send correspondence to your senators, reps, or newspaper"

Of course. I agree. These are also important. But the point of this venture is more about a show of solidarity. Sometimes one feels very much alone and working in a vacume. I think this is just a way that one can see with one's one eyes that there is a growing movement that won't be stopped.

I also remember that in Denmark, the King and his family wore a yellow star on their coats to show their solidarity with the Jews during WW2 who were being forced to wear a sign of their "tribe". I will bet it made a difference to those who saw or knew of it.

Consider red to be our tribal colour. We ARE a tribe, and need to be both seen and heard, especially now.

Anyway, it's a small thing, but sometimes, like the breath from a butterfly's wings...can be the beginning of a hurricane.
