What Love Looks Like

Tired, sweaty, drained, the runners neared the finish line.  Families, children and friends awaited their triumphant return.  Thousands of marathoners run the Boston Marathon each year.  They come from all over the world.

Soldiers dressed in camouflage clothing ran, too, with forty pound packs on their backs.  But nothing was too heavy that they couldn't stop to aid injured bystanders at the finish line. They mobilized.  Well trained, they knew what to do.  In almost choreographed fashion, hundreds of ordinary people moved fences and debris, took off their shirts, made tourniquets and did whatever they needed to soothe our injured people caused by a coward who bombed innocent people.

These are the 99%. Patriots. The humanity displayed during the Boston Bombing was overwhelming.   In a city that loves their country, even when their elected officials don't care about them, these patriots continue to hold those ideals close - life,  liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

So to the 1% never, ever think we will sit back and allow you to continue to destroy all that is near and dear to us. We are the 99%.  We will find the coward (s) who did this.

And we will change the way things are done in our country.  Don't ever think a group of committed people can't change the world.  It is the only thing that ever has.

We are the 99%.
