WE need a BIG protest
honestly i think all this anger on DU is because we are angry with Bush. We feel impotent now. There was some hope when we atleast had the primaries and elections to deal with...now there is just four more bleak years.

clearly we are all obsessing with the petty stuff to regain some amount of control . all this aggression needs be channeled into something useful.

I can't go to DC either, but I'm gonna put my Kerry Edwards sign back out.

15. I understand. I was just responding to the post
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 08:06 PM by OhioBlue
that indicated that they wish they could be in DC. I can't, but it's my small contribution to remind people who drive by that I don't support *.

Are you thinking of an organized, protest in multiple locations? I think Social Security Reform is a good place to start. I wonder what the date is that FDR signed it into law. I'll try to find out.
on edit - August 14th. Not soon enough.

5. Protests are healthy
I always feel good after one. I'm thinking about driving to the inaguration.

21. couldn't agree with you more Lioness
people could take that energy and make art, music, protest, writing, what have you. It doesn't really help to take it out on others.
