[QUOTE]Originally posted by moonlight bouncing off water: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Redskies: [qb] I know I've been inspired when I've read other people speaking out. I'm humbled and honoured to think I could have that effect too. And it makes it all worth it, because even if it doesn't change a practical thing right now, if someone else is reading and gains heart, belief or strength, knows that I am here thinking and saying these things too, then it is absolutely worth it. [/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [qb] But you know, to keep moving along with it the thing that helped me the absolute most was....well, reading people taking stands just like this. Just like you did. I think we can absolutely say that the more people there are who really hold these kinds of lines, the easier and easier it will get for people to get a clue and a grip and get on board. :) [/qb][/QUOTE]The idea that you both expressed there is absolutely why speaking out [i]works[/i] . As you both said, hearing people speak out makes me want to speak out. Knowing that others feel the same way I do, even just knowing that there are people out there passionate enough to stand up for what they believe in, for what is right, is phenomenal. Redskies, awesome job speaking up on that site, that makes a world of difference! And even though you can't name the site on here, even coming on here and saying 'hey, this issue exists and it just isn't right', is awesome. Kudos, and kudos to you too Heather for all that you do.
