Antiwar Protesters at Macalester

On Sunday, I went for a long walk, which took me down Summit Avenue past Macalester College. There was a small group of demonstrators holding signs about how bad war is and how good peace is. There was nothing on the signs about the Russian aggression against Georgia, however. I thought it would be fun, in the spirit of Protest Warrior, to join the group holding a sign that said "Peace at Any Price" and then in smaller letters, "even at the price of war." It''s a quote from Chesterton, and I savored how the demonstrators might gasp for a half-second, in the manner of the AFLAC duck reacting to Yogi Berra, before descending on me in an unpacific manner.
