January 9, 2009, was a special day in New Orleans. A group called SilenceIsViolence asked New Orleans residents to stay home and wear red to call attention to the city's escalating number of murders. If everybody stayed home, how did anybody know whether or not you were wearing red? And when somebody missed you somewhere, did they automatically say, "Oh, he's not here because there are so many murders"? And I wonder how many murderers said, "You know, Joe Pacifist stayed home today and wore red. Maybe I'll rethink this killing thing"? Guess I'm just a little unclear on the concept.
