Take a walk

In case you didn't know, there's going to be some massive protests against the wannabe war in Iraq this weekend. Unlike previous anti-war demonstrations, this one is going to happen before the shooting starts. The major protests are slated for San Francisco and Washington D.C., but I'm sure there's going to be some vigil or event going on in your area during MLK weekend (a fitting time for an anti-war statement, if there ever was one).

If you want to get out and make some sort of stand about a war that would be catastrophic in the short and long terms, click here, here or here and figure out what works best for you.

The last time there were massive, organized marches on the nation's capital regarding attacking Iraq, it drew somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000, numbers not seen since the height of the Vietnam War protests.

And remember, this is before the shooting starts.

Oh, if you make the trip to San Francisco or D.C., be sure to bundle up, wear comfortable shoes, bring a buddy for company and don't do something knuckleheaded like vandalize a Starbucks. That's so Seattle 1999.
