- Wow!

- The opening of the convention is only hours off.

- The delegates are pouring into the ball park with lunch baskets, banners and petitions asking John Doe not to jump off any roof.

- No matter how you look at it, it's still a phenomenal movement.

- These John Does or 'hoy polloi', as you've heard people call them, have been laughed at and ridiculed.

- But here they are gay and happy, having traveled 1000s of miles,

- Their expenses paid by their neighbors to come to pay homage to their hero, John Doe.

- In these days of wars and bombings, it's a hopeful sign that a simple idea like this can sweep the country.

- An idea based on friendliness, on giving and not taking, on helping your neighbor and asking nothing in return.

- And if a thing like this can happen, don't let any of your grumbling friends tell you that humanity is falling apart.
