I just went to see Michael Moore speak this afternoon on a college campus (I thought becoming a speck of rain in the political climate might give my depression a rush of adrenaline).
Strangely, we were greeted a fraternity house of econ majors PROTESTING. As I stood waiting to get in the amphitheater, I realized that I'll never get used to waspy-looking protesters in Polo shirts. These victims of Ralph Lauren were protesting the injustice of...I'm still not sure what. People who make movies they didn't care for? I guess I'm just lazy. I really did NOT care for "The Titanic," but did I do anything about it? Nope. You can't drag my butt out on to the street unless it's for like, abortion rights, or fair wages for migrant workers...until it gets extreme!
Maybe I shouldn't wait for things to get so bad. I could learn something from the Beta Guys.
Just for today, I can learn from Republican protesters.
