Ah, yes, the SDS. Smells like the sixties to me. It’s about freakin’ time!

Rochester Students for a Democratic Society marched on city streets late Friday afternoon to protest Obama’s troop surge in Afghanistan and the US presence in Iraq. Funk the War 3 went off without the controversy and violence of SDS’ October march, which led to a hostile confrontation with police and the arrests of several SDS members. Rochester had its share of demonstrations last week, with two antiwar rallies on Friday and an earlier rally to protest the State Senate’s defeat of marriage equality.

Here's what I'd like to know. What the fuck will it take for the leaders of this country, the President and Congress, to understand that the citizens, you and me, do not support this war? I mean hey man, young Americans are killed every day right here at home for a wide variety of reasons. Car accidents, Robberies, Disease. The press says to expect a surge in American deaths in Afghanistan with the surge in troops and military activity.

We don't need to send young men to foreign countries to die. This is all just so absurd.

Tell me I'm dreaming...
