Protesters deserved more than disdain

I helped picket Kentucky Fried Chicken on Dec. 5. I estimate 75 percent of the thousands driving past didn't want to know and earnestly ignored us. Fifteen percent tried to take in the visual information offered. Two percent became angry. How dare they! Troublemakers! Eight percent laughed, smiled, fist-saluted, hooted, waved and joyfully expressed their support for PETA's plea for mercy for these helpless feathery creatures. Perhaps they too affirmed a small group (80 percent female) of shivering people protesting the status quo.

Out of self-respect, instead of butchery, let us show a degree of empathy.

You HAFTA take us seriously, you just HAFTA.

I mean, we're 80% female (and 20% Gawd knows what) and we're protesting the STATUS QUO (which is Latin for "stuff we don't like"), AND we were shivering, SHIVERING!

So if you don't let us have our way and if you don't take us seriously, you're just a big MEANIE! So THERE!

Excuse me, I think I'm going to be ill.
