I got protest envy.

Stuck here at work while the sky over us is full of helicopters and the 4th-anniversary anti-war march is going by just a few blocks away. Grrr. Wanna...go...shout.

But M and I snuck out for a few minutes, and [livejournal.com profile] divinetailor and [livejournal.com profile] nineinchlovely saw us and yelled and waved. So that was cool.

Wish I could be out there too! I've never seen so many protests in such a short time, and I'd love to be part of one.

We have quite a few around here. :) I've been in a bunch over the last couple of years, including the one that shut down Lake Shore Drive at rush hour the night the war started. Sadly, I'm sure I'll get another chance before long.

I'm a bit disillusioned with protesting. I was in the big student march in sydney just before the government completely failed to pay any attention and went into Iraq. It was pretty much just a day off school to walk through the city, splash around in the big fountain and yell HOWARD IS A WANKER *clap clap, clap clap, clap!* at the top of your voice. It didn't accomplish jack shit.

Oh, you need to have protests, just to keep checking that you can. It's a kind of freedom barometer. But nobody ever pays attention until it's too late.
