Jules, Max and I just recently returned from one of over 1600 candlelight vigils held around the country in support of Cindy Sheehan and her quest for meet with the shrub. There were about 150 people there tonight at the University of Michigan Diag in Ann Arbor. There was also another gathering over on north campus.

I went to a vigil in Ann Arbor, as well. Perhaps the most powerful speaker was a woman who lost her daughter-a flight attendant-on one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center. She said that this war had nothing to do with what happened to her daughter. I saw a number of people from Ypsilanti and wished that a vigil had been organized here as well.
Only a few people spoke at the vigil we went to, it was mostly silent but it was still good to see so many people come together for this. Next time something like this comes up we should organize one in ypsilanti, maybe in depot town by the freight house.
That sounds like an excellent idea.
