The guy had just climbed over the railing. I happened to have a disposable camera with me so I took photos. He was calm and speaking out against the war and the killing of innocent people. More police showed up and moved us back. I assumed he would simply finish his protest and then get hauled off. But he decided to jump after giving his statement to the media.

If you start, you have loyal drones that will follow. Hell, why not have a "hair and underwear liberation" since we both liberated our hair. :) Hey “Stone Cold” Pirillo, I think you should start a movement of the underwear liberation to be fought on US soil.

The difference between the old days and today is that we have a huge reserve and active corps, plus a deadly special forces team. Such a huge amount of manpower defeats the need of a draft. Doesn't mean that all adult males still have to sign up for a Selective Service number. I think the draft still exists, but it won't be used unless absolutely necessary.

It was...interesting. Some girl had a sign that read, "Draft beer, not people." I'm not quite sure how to react to that. I personally thought she was a moron. It was a little TOO college-y of a statement to march around with on a stick. Also, I heard that there is no draft anymore. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think she is. Again, I know I sort of want to talk about all that's going on in the world, but I don't feel like it's my place. Yes, I know that we all have the right to say how we feel, to speak our minds, but I feel that if you don't know all the facts, then you should keep your mouth shut about it. I mean, it just seems that people are preaching that war is bad, but are talking more generally. Everyone knows that war is bad. No one LOVES war, but we have to look at the circumstances involved, don't we? I just don't know how many people are doing that. It seems like some people are just being silly. In Boston this morning, this man and woman (along with a few others) were blocking the entrance to some financial building while the people who worked there were trying to get in to their jobs. There was a clip on the news of this man trying to get past these people, but they all just sat there blocking his way. When the news crew came up and asked the man and his wife what they were doing and why, the couple replied that they were so proud that they were executing their rights to stand up for what they believe in. They said that they were deliberately "inconveniencing" these people going to work to illustrate how "inconvenient" war is. Okay, I feel that I don't have to know all the details of the world and politics to say that this is fucking ridiculous. This dude is trying to get to work while these morons are being Inconvenience Personified? I'm telling you, if I were trying to get to work, I would have walked right over these people...would've stepped on them if I had to. They were not accomplishing a goddamn thing, if you ask me. Anyway, I digressed a bit. My point was that even though I don't know enough to make any quotable statements about what I think the world should be doing (and even if I did know enough, I still don't think it'd be appropriate to act like I know what's best for the world), I still think that it's appropriate to address OTHER people's opinions. I do not take any responsibility for these opinions, and I won't say that I necessarily share them, but I found them to be thought-provoking. Any time I hear a statement either for or against the war, I think it's worth noting because I think there is nothing wrong with supplying people with something more to think about. Well, I'm not supplying these thoughts, I'm just showing you a few things that were shown to me... I walked by this anti-war protest today. It was…interesting.
