Wow.  The recent marches for women’s rights that recently swept the world have certainly been thought provoking.  As an American, I’m certainly more interested in the demonstrations that occurred in the United States.  I would never have believed the written, nor the spoken words used by some of the demonstrators had it not been for the videos and photos.  The costumes, clothing or lack of clothing of some of the participants left nothing to the imagination.  I would like to repeat the words, “some of the demonstrators”, as all of them did not fall in this category, and I’m thankful for that.  I must wonder how one associates themselves with such people and expect to be taken seriously if the cause is anything other than Pornographic Rights?

If you have followed my blog, you realize that I’m all about the freedoms granted by God and the American Constitution.  We are all Constitutionally guaranteed the right to peaceful demonstration, no matter the cause.  I’m thankful for that freedom, and I support the right of  those I do not agree with to peacefully demonstrate.  Some of the demonstrators were obviously not peaceful, and hopefully dealt with.  In my opinion, additional demonstrators were less obviously not peaceful, and were probably not dealt with.  Let’s remember, my rights end where yours begin.  Your rights end where mine begin.  In my opinion, if one’s behavior, choice of language, choice of signage, choice of apparel, lack of apparel, or choice of costume is in violation of public decency laws, then the demonstration is no longer peaceful because the rights of others have been violated. Did any of these folks consider the children that were present?  When I was a child, much of the language, behavior, costumes, or lack of clothing by some demonstrators would have landed them in jail for public indecency.

And some folks do not believe this nation is divided?  My opinion is that our great nation is divided along several lines.  The behavior of some of the demonstrators offers proof America is divided on a basic definition for common decency and acceptable public behavior.
