| According to my friend, protesting just isn't 'in' anymore |

She said something to the effect that she doesn't pay any attention to any of the news out of Iraq anymore b/c it's all the same and depressing. I said that apathy among most Americans is pretty much the problem. Then she said that protests just aren't in and they wouldn't do any good anyway. :mad: This happened over IM so I couldn't quite express to her how stupid of a comment that was. I'm sure she's back in her happy world pretending that Iraq isn't happening.

| 3. Yeah, the fact that she said that made me think she just doesn't get it. |

'It' being most everything.
Imagine the world we would live in if everyone had said "nah, protesting won't do anything" sigh.
