[DP] Isy's French Film

[Steve Olshewsky]

I hear Danny's objections and I do not blame him for being offended.  I am 
not trying to stir the pot, but this open discussion is helpful in my 
mind.  We are addressing (now) important aspects of how we work together 
for common goals, and I am gaining from that.

I did not mention agnostics, but I did say "atheists," and when he kept 
saying "a Jew," I said "Jews."  I stopped myself from saying Buddhists 
although I have worked on death penalty issues with Buddhists in Austin & 
Kentucky.

My "quote" came out something like:

"Our group in College Station includes Christians, Jews, Atheists, even 
myself a Quaker.  It does not matter about a person's background.  Anyone 
can come to the conclusion that is wrong to kill a person."

I made hand motions like "separate/apart" when I said "background" and I 
brought my fingers back together to interlock in front of my face as I said 
"come."

Who knows what will come out of the edit, but I wonder if it is better to 
dance to the music of the puppet master than to remain silent on this 
important subject.
