[Guest guest]

Just my opinion... Why are we always so worried and concerned over

what a few Hollywood actors >>>may<<< say and/or think about us even

negatively? Remembering too that the printed media has misquoted

many, including ourselves. However, my main point is not whether the

media has misquoted him or us, it's this: Mr. Thorton's comments are

then posted here as if we all must rise to join the already formed

brigade of non-thinking but fully following LP's some of us become:(

by the skillful manipulation of our emotions and fears by a

certain " few " LP's out there who want us to do such all the time.

Then we are expected by these same few to immediately protest this

actor, because we are all too dumb and we don't know how to do it on

our own anyway. Or we are begged to write that same actor or some

other media figure (Mr. Onesi for example) a letter of our anger or

at the very least an email of our discontentment when most of us

would probably never follow -Bob (for example) as the standard

of our morality anyway, but we expect the actor -Bob himself to

follow our standard of morality. Isn't that ironic and doesn't anyone

see the twisted logic of all this stupidity? Most of us would never

likely hold Bob (example) as our guideline of morality nor

follow what he does and does not say, yet we are not only asking him

to follow ours, we demand it of him! Follow your own morality and

standards first, then I might listen to your arguments! Hypocrites!

The Palestinian-Israeli Issue has been brought up before on this

listserv, but in reality, I 've seen never seen any of our Presidents

suggest or even hint to us as a people or as a republic (a group) to

protest or to write anger mail to either side, no matter how much the

issue may affect us indidually or wholly. Rather, both sides hold a

joint 'conference' (usually at Camp ) with the President acting

as mediator to " discuss " the ISSUES of both sides in a peaceful

atomsphere. Why not invite Bob to our Conference (Camp Toronto,

hehe) to see how much we are alike and to see the humanity we both

share? Or another suggestion to the IRC chatroom leaders: Invite

Bob for a one night live chat with all of us for the same

purpose. Think about the positive effects we'd have on someone as big

as he is (concerning his media influence which ironically ties in

with what many of us are concerned about, how the media 'portrays'

or 'views' us), if he we to truly come to our conference (Camp

Toronto, hehe)? We would end up sending him home with a smile rather

disgust as would happen if we email him 1,000 letters of protest

telling him we think he sucks which by the way, like duh, did we

forget, he can delete them too. B-different, b-postive, b-you:). Stop

following the crowd. Extend an invitation and lay down your pens of

retribution and anger. Follow neither me nor the few who constantly

play on your emotions and/or fears. B-your own leader. The sad part

is that my words will mostly likely fall on hardened hearts and I

know no one will invite him to the conference or to the IRC chatroom

for a live one night chat with all of us as it's easier to write him

and say, " Mr. Thornton, you suck " rather than extend a hand as our

our Presidents have done time and time again concerning the Israeli-

Palestian issue.

Lastly, we live in a nation of 260 million plus peeps and most likely

somewhere right now, be it in a diner in Bumchuck, Idaho or in

Gucci's on Rodeo Drive in Beverly hills someone somewhere is making

fun of a dwarf, a Jew, an African-American, anyone and everyone and

we can't stop it. Legally, because of free speech. However, what we

can do is this: Walk down to the local elementary school in our

neighborhood and ask to put on a " Little People Awareness " program

and change the hearts of many in love instead of protesting or thru

bulk emailing letters of anger which only get deleted. Many of us

hated Mr. Onesi's opinons of a certain dwarf basketball team which

some of us felt he misunderstood them and their purpose. So, many of

us did as we were expected:(, we wrote letters of anger and guess

what? I went back there to that site the other day as I had

bookmarked it and did I find our many letters of anger still there

shining their dark light? Nope, not a one... the paper or Mr. Onesi

probably deleted them all. So much fer that effort, huh? But... maybe

the one lone letter that was different from all the rest was the one

that made him >>>think<<< and change his heart and his ways? Not the

many that said over and over again, " How dare you! You have no right!

You suck, Mr. Onesi! " Because I was always taught you can win more

with love than anger. Oh well, everyone, I could be wrong too? Who

knows, only God, but I ain't a changin' to anger's side that's fer

sure as I've the seen the destruction and hurt that can and has done

to everyone, big and small:(.

luv you all, big & small, grady;)
