I had one elderly gentleman come up to me afterwards and he suggested that I should tone down the the references made about the organizers being communists. He said that he and the people he stands on the corners to protest the war would be against those organizations. I explained top him that people like him who did things without knowing who was giving the orders are what Stalin called 'useful idiots'.

I was trying trying to be kind because he was so innocent. I then told him a old Russian prververb 'Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are'.

Yeah, I can understand the being kind part. It's hard to be kind to a couple of college boys saying, "I'd be proud to be a human shield."

Of course, my response was, "Then GO! LEAVE! You hate my country so much then get out and die for your savior, saddam!"

I was a bit riled that day. I sure miss it! See ya on the 22nd!
