Here's a quote from a government employee who witnessed a
recent interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in
a Metrostation in DC:
>
> "There were protesters on the train platform handing out
pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one.
>
> "An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and
a young (20ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she
politely declined.
>
> "The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder
as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, 'Lady, don't
you care about the children of Iraq?'
>
> "The old woman looked up at her and said, ' Honey, my father
died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son
in Vietnam. All three died so you could have the right to stand here
and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again. I'll stick this
umbrella up your ass and open it.
>
> ~God Bless America~

Go, Granny, go!!! I've been in the metro in DC, though - it would be hard to stand anywhere and not get knocked over!!
