Thread Name: Obit: Philip Berrigan-Anti-war activist (Dec 2002)
Subject: RE: Obit: Philip Berrigan - Anti-war activist
I do grieve the loss of this wonderful person. But the GUEST post of 08 Dec. 2:39 PM points out the hypocrisy of the GUEST. This is the same person that I asked to just let us have our day to say thanks to Vets, and s/he just couldn't allow it. S/he had to inflict his/her political views and take over the thread. S/he just couldn't allow others with different views to have a moment. Now s/he wants us to respect his/her wishes and let this be an OBIT with no discussion, and let his/her moment. Look in a mirror.

I agree with Kevin McGrath and Art Thieme on this one. Phillip Berrigan would want us to take this time, and use it to reflect on his message, and on the activism that ultimately sent him on his way. I, for one, salute a life well lived. And a man who was unequivocal in his message. There are not many who are consistent in their message and who live it every day. God be good to you, Philip Berrigan.
