I am angry today. I thought it would be because of “my” president forcing us into a war to save face but no. What has raised my irk to violent proportions is my fellow Americans.

Protesters have descended on Downtown SF to protest the War. That’s fine. It is the fact they decided to block access into my building. There is nothing in there except banking/investment firms. Those that are inside are stuck and those of us on the outside were sent home. Even if I don’t like my job, I don’t think the protesters have a right to keep me from doing it. They are doing it to piss people off. They call it something else I am sure but that is the basic idea. What they have done is destroyed any sympathy I had for their ideas. Flat out.

I do not support the US Government, the Iraq government or the American protesters.

I do support the police (specifically the SF police dept) for doing what they can to restore and maintain order. I support the people in the military that are just following orders. I support Iraq.

I have been ashamed by the conduct of my government. Now I am ashamed by the conduct of my fellow citizens.

This is something I feel very strongly about, very volatile about, and probably not very rational about, so I am disallowing comments. This is just my feelings and my opinions.
