This morning I realized that the only piece of "jewelry" I had selected to add to my ensemble last night was a lone large safety pin.
I dithered. I've read both sides of the arguments: for and against wearing of the safety pin. I was at first excited about the concept, but then the potential magnitude of the statement I would be wearing for all to see gave me pause.
Was I ready to step in if I saw someone being mistreated? I've learned through experience that the theory and practice of such are very different things. You like to think you'll stand up for your principles and defend other's rights to their own, but it's not that easy for many reasons.
