Carolee and her cow
Reuter news agency published a picture of a large angry crowd protesting the few Nazis that showed up in a rally yesterday in West Allis. One of the men in this picture is giving the Nazi the finger. The picture reminded me of picture I took at the Breaking the Silence march at a anti-Drone nonviolent action at Bastille days when a man in the crowd gave us the finger. As I said in my posting last night “hate breeds hate”.
My friend, Francis, was there just to see what a Nazi looks like. He saw the ‘hate’ of the Nazis based on fear reflected in him. I will publish his letter on his web page Father at War tomorrow.
My day was again spent at the Shawano County fair watching youth and cows walking together. Today was my seven year grandchild’s turn to walk her cow. Although her cow was sick she still took third place in the division. She was trained to keep control of the cow and look the cow straight in the eye but she still showed love to the cow and the cow returned it. She was delighted to show cows and when her friend from the family dairy farm across the road won the junior grand champion she was delighted. (See Evan and his award below.)
The newspaper today said some in the anti hate protest crowd invoked Gandhi and King. I just cannot see Gandhi and King protesting a protest of hate and shouting down speakers. However, I can see them at a country fair, especially Gandhi, for a showing of youth and cows. Gandhi considered ‘Mother Cow’ to be a sacred animal. But even more sacred to him was to show dignity and respect to every human being. What would Gandhi do, protest a small hate group or watch youth show cows?
