I am so glad that you are not fighting a war, but just a gentle counter-protest.
I am so proud of you!
The pen is mightier than the sword. The Vietnam war was won on the ground but lost in the PR battle in the newsmedia. We are helping the PR side, every time a car passes us and gives us the high sign. Brave warriors are helping the battle side. Two different things.
You sound discouraged. Buck up! It's not going to be like last time...
I'm proud of AW. Because each week she's out there doing something about it. Everyone on this thread knows you don't do squat except piss and moan and try to stir up trouble (before quietly slipping out the back door).
I'm thinking of a word
... instigator! And a lazy one at that.
