On Saturday, a bunch of us got into a raucous argument with a few prowars at a Starbucks in Manchester CT. We started it when we heard them gloating, and we finished it. Totally cathartic (and hilarious). I was the only one of my crowd over 25 (way, way over.....). These 20 somethings are all fired up, like they're only getting started. I feel better just writing this.
The Times of London has asked me to do a piece on what it feels like to be a peacenik (the editor's word, Carrol) in America today. I more or less know how I feel, but I'm wondering how others feel - isolated? hopeful? despondent? shocked? confused? regretful?Doug
