[Me.]

[Tripper11]

34. One more kick for me for the West Coast

Night crowd.....

[havocmom]

35. Hugs break down barriers, lessen fear, increase power of people

Do something subversive: Give hugs!

My arms are long. Perhaps I can hug all of DU... yeah, trolls, moles and all! Who knows, maybe trolls are the way they are due to hug deficiency. ;)

Keep it kicked ALL weekend. We need hugs. Hugs help you stop and take a deep breath.

[DemReadingDU]

36. That was inspiring!

[tomreedtoon]

37. Is this like South Park's "Free Hat" campaign?

When the kids offered "Free Hat" to try to get people into a rally, a bunch of people showed up who wanted to "free Hat." Hat being a serial killer of infants and small children. The people were adamant that Hat should be freed; after all, those infants were trying to kill him first.

I think this "free Hugs" campaign is the same thing. Isn't "Hugs" that Republican Congressman from Florida who resigned because of his lecherous e-mails to kids and underage Congressional pages?

[hootinholler]

38. There's an interview! He had to fight for the right to do it!

Here.
