After watching a weekend's worth of politically nepotistic network news coverage of the shrill, empty venom put forth by the thousands of protestors in New York, I happened across this amazing account of high school student standing up for his beliefs.
Take note of the fantastic pictures, and well though-out tips. Very impressive.

Posted by: James at August 30, 2004 03:11 PMOh yes, the old "we love free speech until the speech is directed against us" line. Is the left supposed to be the only side that has a right to protest and have demonstrations?

Posted by: John H at August 31, 2004 12:53 PMIsn't it refreshing to see today's youth take an interest in politics with a clear, rational mind. Especially when his arguments are well constructed and backed with truth. Conversely, I'm not at all surprised with the reactions he got from the left-minded folk in his school. Talking points, rhetoric, hate and bile come easy. Bunch of easily lead automitons.
