As a crossing guard for HS students, I carry concealed against just such a day. I am white, most of my kids are some shade of brown. All I need is for someone to blame their deaths on me. I will shoot to prevent it if I can and shoot to avenge it if I must.

I have died. She is about to embark on a marvelous journey beyond description. Imagine the happiest she has ever been ... except calm. That's pretty close but the reality involves anticipation of something too good to describe, so my humble words are still inadequate. It's not "good-bye", it's "bon voyage" as she leaves on that journey ahead of you ... but you will meet up again and she will never be far away when you might need a moment with her. Do not pray to her, but be still and sense her there with you. It will come ... you don't have to believe in it -- it will still come if you'll just permit it.

Of course I haven't bothered to research those differences ... because, so long as they offer no immediate visual identifying clue, they are irrelevant. I'm willing to guess that you cannot look at a Baptist and tell which denomination he is a member of, either or even the difference between a Lutheran and a Catholic in line at WalMart.

Remember how "the people" came to have power to begin with? We took it by force. We may not have to do that this time around, but be prepared ahead of time in any case. You may not have to fire a round that is in your hand, but you cannot fire one that is not in your grasp.

The message cannot be that we "want" it back. In that case, the answer is eternally "no." The message can only be that we are taking it back and there is nothing to negotiate.
