Dear [Inner] Family, What if you don't see the grenades?

Hi. The following was quite helpful when it came to me last night as I was speaking to college students from Wisconsin in front of the White House. One of them quite appropriately but wrongheaddedly asked me if vigiling there "does any good?" What she had in mind I am sure was the time-killing/Darfur-killing emails, phone calls, lobying congress. Finally, with the following I found something that might help others understand the inappropriateness of such actions today. Into Thanksgiving Dinner rolls a live Hand Grenade...

Well, of course you are my Inner Family and I see grenades raining down all around you: Darfur, Palestine, Lebanon, Impending Police State, Congo, Guatemala, Haiti, Chester, Camden....

You don't see them.

I'll keep diving on them. That is going to keep me pretty busy. I probably will not be able to come to see you for a long, long time.
