Screamer at the symposium

A few weeks ago my wife and I attended a law presentation or symposium of sorts about writs of habeas corpus.

A writ of habeas corpus allows an arrested person to appear before a judge.

The presentation was spectacular, providing an historical perspective and a modern adaptation from Lincoln to Guantanamo Bay.

Unfortunately a lady, who felt parts of the presentation were contrary to her views, screamed in objection.

Not once. Not twice. But three times she yelled at the performers to adjust their lines to fit her beliefs.

Several hundred people were baffled by her behavior. Why didn't she act in a more subtle manner?

The screamer reminds us that the courage to keep quiet is needed.

And she provides a non-example of respect and consideration.

Money difficulties demand listening ears, mutual respect, loving concern and a love of people more than possessions.
