i t hink my experience doing clinic escort at the abortion clinics is analagous. treated with respect, any crazyass freak can be persuaded to stop screaming BABYKILLER at 17 year old girls. i've done it scores of times. the only people who got pissed off were my colleagues and fellow escorts, who thought i should not be engaging them in conversation, but rather screaming anti-catholic obloquys into the ears of peacefully praying nuns. any sign that i was talking to the 400 lb. really scary evangelist huntin' and fishin' pastor about planting tomatoes instead of telling him he was a motherfucker enraged my colleagues -- all of whom had, as required, taken oaths of non-violence at the quaker HQ of clinic defense along with me. and, let me tell you, a 400 lb. angry white man who is talking about tomatoes with little old me is not running 17 year old patients away from the clinic.
