I should really stop telling people they're wrong. I recently wrote a letter to the Nexus because this columnist was expressing his view about sex and morality in light of Sexual Responsibility Week. His column was elitist and wrong (sorry, I know I shouldn't say that. but sex education is not the problem, stupid people are). And today I tried to talk to one of those jesus guys who wear sandwich signs in front of the library and preach very loudly about all the sins that us college kids are committing. I pointed to my bracelet that says 'stop the war on thc'. I dont know what I was going to say to him, but it didn't matter because he didn't really talk to me about it anyway. Instead he addressed the general public while calling me a pothead going nowhere, 'doomed to eat fritos' caused by my 'eternal munchies'. He said that I'd be 35 smoking doobies with no life. I asked (yelled and added a questionmarky sound after it) what he was doing on a weekday ranting at kids who are busy studying. It seemed to me that I wasn't the one with no life and no job.
Yea I know i dont like these guys, but why don't i just let them be? Sometimes it feels like I'm being smothered with free speech. I just can't take the misinformation, the smearing, and the elitism that lawyers, sandwichsigned jesus guys, and private school pricks try to push on me. Can't stand it.
PS. OMG HE FUCKING GOT CONVICTED SERVES YOU RIGHT YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU KILLED YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER AFTER 20 YEARS OF ABUSIVE FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS AND THEN YOU TRIED TO BUY AND LIE YOUR WAY OUT OF IT I HOPE YOU ROT IN FICTICIOUS DRAMA SHOW HELL

Sometimes you feel like any interaction with the detractors or extremists seems futile because the both of you are pretty set in your ideas. As much as they shouldn't bother you, I'm glad that you're vocal--it's admirable.
The sad part is that while you think you're right, the sandwich-board man also believes he's right. But he remains in that same spot day to day preaching the same thing, and you've moved on to other things. Cheesy but true, no?
your costa rica stuff is interesting and makes me jealous, but my only coment is on this, because i know EXACTLY what you are talking about. i confronted some people manning a DARE booth on thayer street last year, with jeff, and it sucked because it turned out that they didnt actually believe in DARE. it was boring. they were working off community service time by passing out DARE stuff and collecting donations.
it is so frustrating to have been born into a society that you cannot easily influence. 'making a difference' is statistically impossible for most people, however well meaning or hard trying...
