i just went to a protest in boston, opposing the war on iraq
it was great, there must have been tens of thousands of people
we marched all over boston, and had all these streets shut down.
tim robbins spoke, as did a bunch of people, such as preists, rabbi's, scholars and some iraqis.
it was great

I don't think a few obese Americans and friends walking around Boston is going to stop Bush's terrorism against Iraq...but I suppose the exercise would have done you all good, except for the polution you will have breathed thanks to the US's excellent environmental policies.
Power to the people and all that.

its pretty much impossible to affect the government these days. actually, it is impossible. i smell world war 3, im sure plenty of countries will band together with iraq, the UN doesn't support America's decision, and blah and blah.

ecnadniarb: lets not be sterotypical. for the record, almost everyone i saw at the rally was not fat. also, i do think it will be good. if you put more attention on the subjects, more people will learn about it. and when these people learn about it, these are the people that vote for thier leaders. its not an overnight thing, but if we persist, something will come of it.
neto: no, why?

'resident' Bush performed a coup-d'etat--he wasn't elected.

Well given that according to US government statistics 79% of Americans are overweight with 32% of the population being classified as obese I think it is a pretty accurate discription.
As for people "that vote for thier leaders", I find it rather sweet that you beleive you actually live in a democracy, when your current president was only elected thanks to creative counting in his brothers state.

There were protests around Australia but I didn't hear about them until they had already happened so I couldn't join them.

no, bush was not fairly elected, but the more people that understand this, the more people that decide to take action, then things will begin to change. like i said, its a long process.
and i know americans are statisticaly fat, but not all of them. youre just being an asshole.
