sapote: The TARDIS sits near a tree in sunlight (buffy)

160 people at the antiwar protest today, for which I made lots of Food Not Bombs vegan pizza. On the one hand, I feel the need to note this for the international audience: my very small town, it cares! We are very sorry, world!

At the same time, man, I get annoyed at small-town political rhetoric. I felt like I needed a Citation Needed sign every five seconds. Also, some dude made an impassioned call for peace to begin in the uterus? Whatever, dude.

I would like a t-shirt that says "it's rather complicated, you know" to wear to these things.
I remember the first protest, senior year of high school. It was a different town, but there were hundreds of people, and we were furious. I would call today more of a concerned public meeting on the issue of national debt, with lunch provided.

But I am a bitter and cynical old person, so meh. I'll get over it in another couple of years.

Poor little Canadian dude, all alone in the desert. Maybe he's like my cousin and actually sits in an officebuilding? That would be Canadian war, I feel.

I am cringing that other countries chant that one too.

We send entire Tim Hortons franchises to our soldiers, no lie.
