It
is time to talk seriously about values.
OK,
Molly
Ivins has led me to write a rant on “values”.
I think that she
has hit the nail on the head. My essay is posted
here.
We must speak our values,
and not just to the “converted”. Check
out George Lakoff’s thoughts on this.
So, I’m doing
something about it. For example, I found the NRA
blacklist through the LEFT
is RIGHT blog and so went, signed the petition, then followed
the link to the
actual list on the NRA website, and posted this polite note
under “contact us”. I’ll let you know if they
put me on the list.
| Hi there.
I would like to be added to your blacklist at this URL:
http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?ID=15
I should be listed
under "Individuals and Celebrities". I'm a registered
nurse, specializing in pediatric critical care and flight
nursing, and have taken care of many victims of gun violence,
including those who were just in the wrong place at the
wrong time - like in their living room. I am also a clinical
instructor, and am developing a website to discuss nursing
issues, including public health issues like gun violence
in the US and abroad. One of the things I'll be sure to
mention on my site is the "well regulated Militia"
that the NRA seems to consistently miss in the Second Amendment.
If you need my URL, it is: http://www.thuntek.net/~sclamont
Thanks, and please
e-mail me when I'm on your list!
Best regards,
Scott |
