The Deficit???

There I see the end of their weekly march against wars and war. Actually, I tend to scan around to try to spot whether there’s any ““protest warrior” in the crowd… the answer this night was “Perhaps that guy in a suit on a bike riding across the street with a camera. Perhaps.”

But I wonder about one man’s sign. I think I’ve seen him with this before, and he’s probably a regular.

On a sign with various inflamatory messages against the Israeli government and military policy, and American support thereof…

… a comparison to Hitler here and there…

… number of dead Palestinians…

… reference to Iraq War as more of the same…

There is a sticker. It reads “It’s the Deficit, Stupid.”

I walk up to him, point to the sticker, and say “Isn’t the deficit kind of secondary to your concerns?”

He nods, gives a smirk, and says “Got to start somewhere.”

I still think that message is kind of off target.
