An (all too) familiar scene

Brightleaf Square, Durham, NC, 4 years after the US invasion "to disarm Iraq."
People still gather here every Saturday to express their dismay over the war. To me, it seems surreal. Two thirds of the American people oppose the war. Three quarters of us believe we're headed in the wrong direction. The burden of sacrifice is carried by an almost minuscule portion of the populace. Our elected officials are too chickenshit to carry out their constitutional obligations.

Leave it to the kids to cut through the bullshit.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.
