Sunday, October 27, 2002 ( 2:05 AM ) Dear World, Last night I was in a dive bar in SF after the protest (a few hours after) and the music was loud but I could see there was some coverage of it on the TV and I heard these two guys at the bar say "fucking liberals" and I got into it with one of them, and he said he was a gulf war vet. His logic was really confused, he said he was all for peace, but basically if we didn't invade now, etc.... well, he wanted to be able to have his Jamba Juice(TM) every morning (and drink it too, I suppose) and ride in his BMW is what it boiled down to. I was surprised that he was upfront enough to admit that he was willing to go kill thousands of people just for a Jamba Juice(TM) and that somehow that was OK. Then it turned out he hadn't seen actual combat, he was a mechanic. BUSTED!!! Anyway he kept looking at me tragically and saying things like "Hey, I love peace, I'm with you, I don't want war either, but if we don't... [blah blah] I'm sure you're a sweet young girl, you've probably never been out of California, I bet you live in Lafayette or somewhere up in the hills" and he continued to stereotype me and he wouldn't believe it when I told him how I kick ass. When I got home and went to the bathroom I realized that I still had a peace sign stamped on my forehead, which maybe was why he kept saying "I'm with you, I love peace too, but..." I just walk around every day and can't believe that people are going about their business not realizing how many people are dying horrible deaths or about to die them because we are going about our business. But! I read this inspiring but depressing but hopeful but tragic!!! article today. Read this and then vote for this guy for president. Here's an Idea: Fight Terrorism by Saving Lives. Note: he'll have to be a write-in candidate so let's start getting organized NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
