I am a member of the anti-war group that peacefully assembles in front of the Armed Forces Recruiting offices on Sheridan Drive.
We are a group that practices nonviolence. However, we have not been strangers to threats, obscene gestures and general harassment from military recruiters as well as a group of people who are provided with food and parking spaces by these same recruiters.
It is sad that some who claim to believe in democracy do not realize that dissent is democratic.

- GUEST VIEW: Bottles, water's new fashion accessory In the not too distant past, I thought that people walking around with a bottle of water were just demonstrating an affectation, which I hoped would not last long. How wrong my thought, and hopes, were. Looks like it is here to stay; it has become de rigueur.
