It's funny that there's a disagreement about a perceived threat. On the show, I was mocked about being scared of someone holding a sign.
To your point, if that was actually their goals, I would still disagree with those tactics. I think it would just play into stereotypes and misconceptions.

Yes, that's even worse. Why expose yourself to this liability for negative press?

You're not the only one who said this which is strange to me. Before hearing this, I thought we equally jumped in on each other's conversation but I accept this criticism. [/QUOTE]

I applaud Michael for asking about specifics as to what Chemda and Elsa are looking for in terms of changes. We need specific, measurable goals. Campaign zero does an excellent job in laying it out clearly.

Agreed!
