BBQ not bombs

I went to the anti-war protest in Fayetteville this weekend. I was impressed with the diversity of the crowd, in terms of veterans, peaceniks, trade union folks, and students. I did see a few of the wacky people that I used to know in Durham, which was funny. I also had a real eastern North Carolina bbq sandwich from the vendor selling lunch and was moved by a number of the speeches from current service people and veterans. It was worth the trip down to visit my folks. (My Dad actually came along with me.)
