Make war, not love

I am updating this entry from my iPAQ. One wireless network card makes a world of difference. No one is safe now, I can browse the web from anywhere in this building or the Student union. the lines between the real world and the wired are dissapearing. I now return to my regularly scheduled rant. �

There is apparently a group of students on my campus who are opposed to a war in Iraq. This in itself is not that surprising, but the interesting thing is that my college is in the middle of Nebraska, an overwhelmingly conservative Republican state. Most of my political opinions fall somewhere between conservative and libertarian, I think. This group held an anti-war protest rally today. All 90 of them had a short march around campus, and mostly everybody resisted the urge to yell insults at them as they went by. Their turnout wasn�t all that bad considering this is a campus of 6,000 students. One thing that I found funny was that the name they decided to put for themselves on the flyers was �Students 4 Peace�. I find it a little funny that they are too lazy to do anything constructive to further their cause, and they are to lazy to spell out the word �for�. I guess it isn�t really that funny, but I am easily amused.

Right after I observed the protesters, I felt like renting a movie, preferably something to do with guns and war and lots of patriotic cheesiness. So I got Red Dawn. This movie is great. �WOLVERINES!!!� Every child who grew up in the country and had some exposure to guns probably had dreams of fighting off Commie invaders. Perhaps I will start a rag tag band of geurilla warriors to fight those darn hippies.

Seriously though, I really like that movie, maybe I�m just a GOB. So I think I will hang out and watch The Professional next. Right after I browse around my favorite web-comic sites. I swear web-comics are addictive, and there is no end to them.
