#2 The clueless, unintelligent, narcissistic, self-centered idiots on the way to replace the current crop of same. Nauseating.

#4 I'm all for an airfare paid overseas trip for anyone until they grow the hell up.

#6 Twice? I think you significantly underestimate, Icerigger.

How utterly unaware of the world around them to think they would be more impactful toting homemade drums -- although perhaps it's the reporter who lacks awareness. My first thought, and second too, was of the oatmeal carton drums made by the trailing daughters in preschool. The ones with the plastic Cool Whip lids were the best, because they could be hung around the neck with a bit of coloured yarn, and they really took a beating from the pencil drumsticks. They weren't nearly as loud as the singing voices of the three- and four-year old girls marching round the house with them.

#7 "They need to look at who this war is really affecting," said Mari Anderson, an Ingraham sophomore~~ic little twit~~. "It's our future, and we're going to be the ones who have to deal with the consequences."

Forget the people actually fighting and dying, it's all about you.

#8 Even with those Impactful Drums of Peace, being clothed clearly diluted their message. I mean, don't they know you have to be naked to prove how much you mean it? I for one would have found naked drumming much more persuasive. Naked, drumming, and hanging from trees would have been seriously impactful. But, apparently peace isn't that important to them, so I'll just have to keep mindlessly cheering for dead terrorists.

#9 The current crop of peaceniks are definitely not as large as they were in the 60s-70s. I guess there is something positive to be said for no marriage and abortion. Culls the gene pool.

#10 Darth,remember - no draft. If they don't want to go to war, they don't have to. When I was a kid, you could be opposed to the Viet Nam war and still end up there.

#14 We'll compromise. How about "Books not Bongs"?

#15 Looks like mostly guys at that "rally".

And most of them probably just wanted to skip school.

#16 I'm against the draft as it deprives citizens of rights and screws up the military. However, drafting some folks into the Peace Corps so they could see the third world is not all wine and roses being kept down by the man wouldn't be such a bad thing. I'd support tripling the funding for the Peace Corps because it would help a lot of these types grow up.

#17 Drafting these idiots into the peace core (Or something like it) is a great idea with one big flaw.

How are you going to keep them in long enough to learn? With a rifleman behind each and every one?

#19 You wouldn't have to if it was packaged right.If it were, the left side of the political spectrum would be falling all over themselves.
