Protest and Assent

[binidj]

It struck me recently, that only protest is ever really measured ... you never saw anyone demonstrating that the Gulf War was a good thing for example but the people saying it was a bad thing got loads of press because they were making a noise about it. This is fair enough, free speech is a good thing in my opinion but I've decided that the time has come to make a stand (however insignificant) to give assent and support to ideas which other people may be campaigning about.

If you feel as I do, please cut and paste this image ... if you could host it yourself that would be especially nice.



Now while I welcome discussion, I don't think that this is a good forum for it so if you want to discuss my politics at length I invite you to do so in person rather than here. Comments on the validity of positive assent however are welcomed (since I suspect that such a discussion will be less likely to be either as impassioned or as lengthy).

Yes you can, in fact my one is shamelessly ripped off from one the Liberals are putting about. You can see one on (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=caribou95)Caribou95 (http://www.livejournal.com/users/caribou95/)'s LJ.

"The liberals". Hmm, I'm a liberal and a leftie, however I both supported the war and believe that ID cards could well be a good thing, subject to cost and measures to prevent abuse etc.

Just a point about misuing labels ;)

Heh, I'm actually a leftie liberal too ... note the capitalisation on my post ... the image and poll were put out by the Liberal Democrats (which I shortened to Liberals).

This is not to say I don't frequently misuse labels mind, just that in this case I'm not guilty m'lud.

Hehe, ok then, my bad. I always thought they had an odd name for such a middling party..
