Protesting in Seattle

While I spent yesterday at my office actually working and getting something done, I missed out on the big anti-war/anti-Bush activities going on in Seattle. Apparently the event drew about 1,000, mostly students, who probably should be in school learning something rather than marching thru my neighborhood. I tend to doubt the number of 1,000, as this event wasn't even mentioned on the 6pm local news.

Here's a great quote from a protestor:
"We can't even vote, and they're, like, trying to make us fight for a country we can't even change," said Zabrina Duncan, 16, a junior at Roosevelt High School.
"like trying"? maybe if she stayed in school she could learn some better grammer. Fight for what country - the US or Iraq? Seems she didn't have that thought put together very well.
