Should I Participate In An Inauguration Demonstration?
Dear God,
I was searching for information about the Inauguration of Barack Obama as our next President of the United States on January 20 this year, when I came across a web site promoting an inauguration demonstration to take place at a particular spot along the parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue. Apparently, this demonstration is designed to urge President Obama to work to uphold the Constitution.
Isn’t that what Obama’s promising to do with his Oath of Office, though?
Is it worth participating in this protest?

Frieda,
This is a matter of your judgment.
If you believe that a politician, upon making a promise, can be relied upon to keep that promise, then no, you shouldn’t go to the political demonstration.
If, however, you believe that a politician needs to receive pressure and input from citizens to keep his promises, then it’s a very good idea for you to participate.
- God
