I agree, Miriam.  

My SO went to the vigil here in Boulder.  In fact, he was the one
who found out about it, who wanted most to go.  I know that this
tragedy hit him hard.

We were a bit put out when the paper reported that it was attended
by 30 women and 4 men.  We did not believe that the sex of the
mourners was that important.  What was important was that *people*
went.

We need respect on both sides.  Thank you for a fine article.

       You'd get right to work if you had any sense,
        You know the one thing we need is a left-handed monkey wrench.
