My Dad, The Unlikely Protester
My dad, who is in his early 70s, retired in an affluent neighborhood, and an Air Force vet, has been holding anti-war signs at the corner of Laurel Canyon & Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, CA since the first bomb dropped in Baghdad.

He's a retired aerospace engineer & patent attorney and maybe doesn't fit the stereotype of what a lot people consider an activist, but I am so proud of him. He is honestly horrified at what BushCo is getting away with and wants to help get the word out.

Any locals in the vicinity, give a honk to my dad on Friday! I love you Dad!

1. You've got a cool Dad! My props to him.
He can see through the bullshit and think on his own.
If my dad were alive he'd be doing the same.

2. Kudos to your dad! Mine feels the same way as
yours, RE: BushCo, but I could never imagine mine protesting like that! Good for him!:thumbsup:

5. That is so awesome!
Give your dad a big old :hug:. Good for him, he is doing more than a lot of people half his age.

I am honking from Kansas, hope he knows he is appreciated by an awful lot of people.
