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.
