And warm<br>because it does get windy on those corners. (gloves. hat. layers.)<br><br>"Which corners?" you ask. The 4 corners of Neil Street and Main Street<br>in downtown Champaign Illinois.<br><br>Come prepared to talk about Yemen*, or peace, or your values, or your<br>politics -- or all of the above. We shall try to make the conversation<br>worth your time and discomfort. GET OFF YOUR couch and join us.<br><br>If you can't make it, please devote 2 hours to using your MIGHTY PEN<br>to denounce war -- you have to share it to make it count.<br><br>You have been invited!**<br>-karen medina<br>-- --<br>Footnotes:<br>* or any other war in which the United States government is invested.<br>** I apologize for the reference to an ancient parable, but even<br>agnostics and atheists can enjoy the power of a good story sometimes.<br>The invitation is a reference to Luke 14:16-17, "A certain man<br>prepared a great banquet and invited many guests. When it was time for<br>the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited,<br>‘Come, for everything is now ready.’" All of those invited were too<br>busy to come. // "Then the owner of the house became angry and said to<br>his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city,<br>and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ ...<br>"For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my<br>banquet.’”… // In this case, if you decline the invitation to be part<br>of anti-war movement, then you are joining the "good people" who do<br>nothing -- which refers to the line "All that is necessary for the<br>triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." which is often<br>attributed to Edmund Burke.<br></body></html>
