Yes I agree, Jdimytai Damour will remain a symbol. We are thinking of how to keep his memory alive even as he becomes a forgotten news item, even as the more recent violence in Palestine and elsewhere covers up the horror at that Wal-Mart. But the consumer world that caused those people to come through those doors like a stampede of crazed addicts - that still remains with us. In fact - it has much to do with many forms of newsy violence. We still have so much work to do. And of course, and maybe Jdimytai would agree, some of our work should take the form of joyful song, laughing and praying and pranking for justice with a newfound force. -- Rev
