Thank you all. I took her to the doc today and they said it could just be the allergy and she doesn’t have a pink eye.

Question by Buddy R: Is it moral to use violence when protesting an issue?

The couple’s neighbor reportedly placed a No on Prop. 8 sign on the couple’s property, in front of their sign, Gallucci said.

They confronted him about it and fight broke out, Gallucci said. Neighbors called police about 8 p.m., saying the younger man had struck the older couple in the face and head. Paramedics treated the pair, who were then going to seek their own hospital care. Gallucci said the woman’s eye, already in a bandage from recent cataract surgery, may have been damaged.

Worshippers at a Bible-teaching church in Lansing, Mich., were stunned when members of a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash Back interrupted their service to fling propaganda and condoms around the sanctuary, drape a profane banner from the balcony and feature two lesbians making out at the pulpit.

“Burn their f—ing churches to the ground, and then tax the charred timbers,” wrote “World O Jeff” on the JoeMyGod blogspot today within hours of California officials declaring Proposition 8 had been approved
Another contributor to the JoeMyGod website said, “While financially I supported the Vote No, and was vocal to everyone and anyone who would listen, I have never considered being a violent radical extremist for our equal rights. But now I think maybe I should consider becoming one. Perhaps that is the only thing that will affect the change we so desperately need and deserve.”

A contributor identifying himself as “Joe” said, “I swear, I’d murder people with my bare hands this morning.”
On yet another site, “Americablog,” “scottinsf” wrote, “Trust me. I’ve got a big list of names of mormons and catholics that were big supporters of Prop 8. … As far as mormons and catholics … I warn them to watch their backs.”

I don’t condone violence in any protest.

While you are making a list, why don’t you add those who bomb abortion clinics.

Question by anonymous: complications of itching and redness, cornea cells dying?
after cataract surgery in October, 3 months later allergy type symptoms appeared and as a result cornea cells started dying and continue even after aggressively applying dry eye drops

Answer by norton g
anonymous, best of all would be for you to visit your eye surgeon for guidance. Eye drops, sometimes called “artificial tears” are several types. You may benefit by switching to a long-lasting gel rather than the shorter acting thin liquid drops. Itching may be due to an allergic response.
