Today is the 5th Anniversary of the Iraq Invasion, so I took it upon myself to join some dear friends in their Anti-War Protest on the corner of Proctor and US 41. We were out there for two hours, and our last tally was 200 peace signs, 10 middle fingers. The banner wasn't even unfurled yet when the honks started, from huge diesel pick up trucks and semis to sparkling Mercedes and BMW's, young college kids and even small children, all the way up to people of questionable driving age. It was a fulfilling experience, my first of its kind. I remember in Indy a girl I knew who was always at some protest, an she always invited me. I was drawn to the idea, but was terrified, really, of making a stand. As Lauren put it today in a newspaper interview, "People would rather get the news than make it."
