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).

I've been told off for discussing politics on several people's LJs
I think it's because I have an opinion that doesnt come from reading the Guardian
I'm safe here for the moment...
