04:16 PM - Peace Fest I attended the peace festival as usual this year, but this time around I went more for the sake of shopping and socializing than activism. Among the smorgasboard of leftysomething activists peddling puerile propaganda and passing petitions, I only found common cause with a small handful which seemed generally in favor of individual liberty... ...including but not limited to the following: The remainer of the activists seemed more in favor of collectivism and subjugation of the individual to the state than any policies which might promote individual liberty at home and abroad. This is to be expected from the left, but it remains surprising to me to see how people react against personal liberty. As usual, I managed to shock a few people, e.g. by enjoying my roast beast sandwich (courtesy of Back Door café) while perusing the PETA agitprop, and by wearing around my Northop Grumman bowling shirt all day. It garnered a few dirty looks, but only a nice lady from the UU church was bold enough to broach the topic. (
