Protest at what cost?
By JUSTIN HAAG | Nov. 8, 2006Hold a sign, say some chants, post some fliers, give biased statistics, have a protest, hold a flag upside down and then go home to sleep safe in your bed.Is that courage, bravery or compassion?Train for months, say goodbye to family and friends, go to war and risk your life for others, sleep on the floor in the cold and the heat.
