Take that, WBC!

  One of the downsides of living in Kansas (and, yes, there are some, endless Wizard of Oz references notwithstanding), is knowing the vile Westboro Baptist Church is a mere 32 miles from my home.  I have learned to ignore the misguided and hateful protesters whenever they come to town, but often feel like I'm copping out when I do. 
  That's why I love this enterprising young man in Illinois and his proactive yet peaceful idea.  Check it out here.

A few years ago, at an aids benefit in Lawrence, KS, WBC showed up outside the hall. In response, one of the event organizers put together a way for folks to donate whatever amount of money they wanted for every minute that WBC stayed. They ended up not only raising over $300 on the spot, but inspiring the WBC people to leave shortly after they'd arrived. It was great! Kudos to the young man in the video...love wins...!
