If this link doesn't take you to the photo of the peace sign and the Capitol Building, look for it. Brilliant picture. It's the top photo in the story about the protests now.
People took time out of their lives today to go to downtown DC and protest this vicious, horrible, ugly war. Almost 200 of them were arrested.
I so wanted to go down today and shoot some film, and to be there - to see what was happening and feel the sentiment, to see whether or not the united voices of the opposition can have any impact. I've been feeling so, so physically ill though that I just couldn't get up this morning. My body still hurt and my head was so full, the way it's been for days, so I can barely think, much less move.
Tonight I feel a bit better, but worse that I missed it. I've never shown up to a protest. I wonder how I can hate a war so much that I don't really speak out against.
I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.
I am so frustrated. So tired of politics. So tired of people getting maced who lay down in the street to protest other people getting shot and blown up.
I see Army recruiters on my campuses and I get angry. I don't think I love this place any less than they do. Maybe I just love it differently.
The Campus Antiwar Network does too. They're protesting Halliburton's presence on their campus this week.
Maybe people are sick and tired enough to do something.
