The biggest threat to the Peace Movement?

(You mean, aside from teargas and police brutality?)

The biggest threat to the Peace Movement? That'd be...the Peace Movement.

Folks, lets face it. We are our own worst enemy when it comes to making ourselves inviting to newcomers to the cause. It's not entirely our own fault. A majority of us have only been protesting for 4-5 years. We don't know what the hell we are doing. And it shows.

Fortunately, there are several groups who have been protesting...well, their entire lives, really. In polite society they are known as the "freaks." People who protest everything from lifesaving vaccines to sanctions against terrorist states. People who think Clinton should have been censored (and move on) and Bush should be impeached.

Because I've suddenly become fond of lists, I've created another one.
