I see these guys everyday man, they are inspiring no matter what you say. This is what it's all about, if you have a strong will for peace, this is what you go out and do.
lol Old hippies. I know why changes are not happening, even with Obama. Because he probably has a better grasp on what is going on over there then these people.
I can't get over it, they are inspiring. These people are the real resistance. As old as they are, and with whatever time and financial constraints, they still do the best they can. They dig in for the long term because they genuinely care. Not like all these phonies out here, who are against the war but won't sacrifice anything to end it. Who at the most will whine about it then go back to watching T.V and forget about the war for the next week.
It's not about groveling to the politicians. it's about rallying the public, and providing a venue of resistance and dissent. It won't be the Sunday marches in Washington D.C once a year when it's convenient for people to attend that will change the course of the country. It'll be groups like this. Determined and committed handfuls in every small town sacrificing daily.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion,
(cont) who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. (Theodore Roosevelt)
Because they are going to end the war because a group of hippies in Corvallis are holding signs, lol. Keeping dreaming, the big cats in the government don't even notice you. I hope you get personal satisfaction out of this pointless endeavor, Good Luck! Thumbs Up!

Keep up the fight. The anti-war movement is re-awakening from the temporary slumber Obama brought on.
See you in the streets!
