A Difficult Yet Important Question

If you would look to the right of your screen, you shall see a poll about deaths caused by the Ministry of Magic and/or Death Eaters.  

The poll is not there because I wish to be insensitive or sensationalise the issue.   It is there so we can help others face the fact that horrible atrocities are occurring.

Aoife gave me the idea.  She said.  Not to be morbid, but maybe we should create a poll of how many Rebellion members/sympathizers have lost family during this struggle. I believe the numbers would be high. If we could publish accurate figures, I think they could change the minds of a lot of people who believe there's nothing wrong and/or sympathize with the Ministry. At the very least, maybe they'd start to question the Ministry's actions. It's one thing to say you hate muggle-borns or blood-traitors, but it's another thing to look those deaths squarely in the face.

If you could take the time to answer the poll, I would deeply appreciate it.   In the meantime, I send out my condolences to those who have lost loved ones.   For those of us who are fortunate to have not lost anyone, I hope it stays that way.

We have found a NEW way to communicate, but need more members of the Rebellion in order to power it! If we are able to get 2,500 Facebook fans total by midnight (EST) tomorrow, we will be able to regain this communication tool. So - BEGIN SHARING!

Anonymous,

Thank you for the reminder. I look forward to seeing the new communication tool.

Mug, what were the results of the poll? When I looked, it appeared not very many people had participated; wasn't sure they would given so many people are in hiding. They were probably worried the Ministry could trace them if they took part.

Aoife,

Not many people had participated; only ten. I actually forgot the results. Sorry. I kind of felt that with such a low turn-out, results would be pretty meaningless.

Please be nice to each other, even if you disagree with what the other person is saying.

If you suddenly feel possessed by a futuristic Muggle, PLEASE go to the OOC section to the right.
