180. other issues?
But I just don't understand WHY it matters so much to some people what other people do?

That's my question, too. I can understand going out and demonstrating with others over something like the Iraq War. What I can't understand is getting excited about how someone else conducts their life. To go to all the trouble of traveling to the destination, perhaps making a protest sign, and even getting one's knickers in a knot over how other people want to conduct their life just seems odd to me.

Which leads me to speculate that maybe they're acting out over some other issue.

And I still have to wonder if some of these people aren't paid protestors. We've certainly seen that before.
