Thread Name: What if a pacificist was on flight 93?
Subject: RE: What if a pacificist was on flight 93?
Ah yes, a duck in plain dress, or feathers whould indeed be a give away, but, than again, a fake beard, dark glasses and a big coat may do the trick, but how hard would it be to disguise a whale? Though an air breathing mamal, they are rather bulky, and I believe one has to keep a whale somewhat damp. I remember smelling whales at sea, a dead give away. Then again, Quakers sometimes are easy to spot as well, I seldom wear collars, and often go about the town in a broad brimmed Elias Hickslike hat. However, that may be a good thing, a sort of deterant, like an armed marshall. An obvious pacifist on the plane may be a deterant, as they are unpredicable and often don't go along with the crowd, like, you may ask everyone to do this and that, and it is often the Quaker that askes why. Then again, ducks seem to be rather unpredictable as well. Whales, well, I have not spent lots of time with them, other than a chance meeting or two, and they did what I expected they would... broke surface, exhaled, smelt strongly, then sounded. What were we talking about anyway, OH yes... pacitism... I'm for it... is the tea on? Well, it should be. Duck and whalemeat pie with that? No, not for me, thanks, not enough whales to go around.
Cheers,
Larry
