Just Because You’re Loud, It Doesn’t Mean You’re Right
So, this weekend there were some protests. I’ve read various estimates of the number of people who protested around the world and place this number around 2 million. So, what about the 5,998,000,000 that didn’t protest? Where’s their news story? Oh, that’s right. It’s about people trying to make a difference. Here’s a newsflash, no it ain’t. It’s about the fact that this 0.03% think that either America is always wrong or George Bush can’t be right. It’s sad really, but these same folks would likely not be concerned if the order was coming from Gore or England.
I’ve read that the KNS estimated that the number of protestors in Knoxville was around 500. Of course, everyone I’ve talked to who actually drove through and saw it said it was more like 40 people. And apparently, those protestors were pretty intolerant of differing views (isn’t that what they accuse us warmongers of?).
More power to our protestors for practicing their freedom of speech. It’s just a pity that they’re wrong.
Head on over to moveablebeast and check out some pictures she took of the local Knoxville Hippy contingent.
