Have Read (Seen, Listened To, Will Miss), Friday

Welcome to Have Read (Seen, Listened To, Will Miss), Friday. I’m hoping
someone has managed to read a page or two of People, or Runners World, in
order to ...
Just me being confused and all. And politics. And Pit Bulls. And a couple of babies.

Scary.
I actually went to Cindy Sheehan's "Camp Casey" in Crawford, out of curiosity. I wouldn't say I agree with everything that was said there, but the people who camped out in their tents with their homemade posters depicting their spouses, children, and siblings who had been killed in Iraq had a lasting effect on me. There were crosses put up in remembrance for those who died... someone purposely ran over them with their car. This isn't just a game, and a lot of these protestors aren't just "poor sports."
I understand not agreeing with everything being said. I sometimes feel that by placing myself as part of the Left I'm also expected to agree with every single thing being said and become part of a culture.
Demonstrations, I feel, are also often hijacked by some groups with specific agenda. Not everyone protesting the war wants to attack Israel and not everyone marching for women rights wants to hear bad poetry.
