Students at Colo. High School Protest Bush -- My favorite bit is this: "We want them to reassure us that our fears are misguided and that the government is doing everything in its power to prevent our futures from being destroyed," said senior Brian Martens, who wore a hand-lettered T-shirt which said he was the "senior executive of the subcommittee on protesting stuff."

HA! I want to occupy a library, and I want to wear that T-shirt while I'm doing it! :)

EDIT: An interesting post about homosexuality in the real world by msscribe.

I know they're trying but..."senior executive of the subcommittee on protesting stuff."

Jesus Tapdancing Christ...nobody's ever going to take them seriously.

I know. It's kind of like going to a concert and wearing the T-shirt of the band that's playing. "Don't be ... that guy."

I still want the T-shirt, though. Not for real, serious protests but just for walking-around, silent protesting. :)

Occupying a library? But I thought Evil Bush was supposed to hate libraries!

And someone needs to tell Brian 'The price of freedom is eternal vigilance'.

Well, his wife seemed to like them. And hey, any excuse to occupy a place full of books would work for me. :)

That msscribe post is fascinating.

I was just saying to my mother that most people who are prejudiced against homosexuals most likely have never met one or just don't realize it.

Congressman Mark Udall (D-Colorado) agreed this morning to go meet with the students. Like in about 30 minutes.

I sure hope Udall decides to run for governor in two years. We could use a Democratic governor to go along with our Democratic House and Senate. Colorado was the only state in the country to hand over controls of its state legislature to the Democrats, and they did it in convincing fashion - in the House, that took winning 9 open seats, including defeating two very conservative Republican incumbents.

We aren't exactly mourning in Colorado these days.

I get all my news from LJ, and this sort of thing is why...

Yeah, as a former Coloradan who has since transpanted to California, I was keeping an eye on the election results back home and very pleased to see that, despite the state being red on the map, the voting went well. Especially happy that Salazar beat out Coors, whose politics are worse than his beer.

Surely it was a joke. If he's a senior, he's 17 or 18, and old enough to have a dry wit.

When I was in high school, during the 1988 election campaign, the art students all made themselves hand lettered t-shirts. The fronts read "Art Fag" and the back read "Ed Grimley for president". They weren't serious, either.
