Hell no

A friend asked me today if I thought that the anti-war protests will cause any sort of change. I replied that I don't think they'll directly result in any policy change, but I believe they do work in subtle ways... despite the fact that subtlety is the last thing on the protesters' minds. Now that I see this, I think it's kind of neat.

Meanwhile, I do not think that the line between visible activism and DUH DUH LOOKIT MEEEEE-style protest is actually very fine. I am glad that the protesters on my own coast have so far kept to the former variety. The other sort pisses me off, really, just to read about it.
