In Feb of 2003 I went to an anti-war protest. There were people there with signs that said "a village in Texas is missing its idiot" and other signs that a Bush supporter might find incendiary. (I thought it was kinda counter-productive too, since I was there to protest an unnecessary war, and would like to welcome any members of RAW (Republicans Against War - a group I imagine might exist even if there are only three members or so) who might want to protest with us.) I had no sign, since I am not a sign maker. I was going to bring my trumpet and play taps to foreshadow the coming slaughter, but it was so damned cold that day that I gave up on the idea. Someone did give me a sign half-way through which said: "what would Jesus bomb?" which I was very happy to carry. Anyway, our protest could have been attacked, either by folice or by counter-protesters. I could have been attacked by fundies on my way back to my rental car. I would not expect any decent person, whether Republican or Democrat or fundy or hippie to write that off as mere "societal physics" if such an incident had happened. Nor to say: "What the heck did they expect?
Too f'ing bad for them."
