Are Random Non-Activists Against the War?

Are Random Non-Activists Against the War?


By David Swanson

One way to answer that question is to look at the polls. The answer seems to be a decisive Yes:

Another way is to wear an anti-war shirt and walk around and talk to people. In my experience, this also leads to a decisive answer of Yes.

Some friends of mine tried another approach. They took anti-war signs onto public trains and asked people if they would be photographed with them. Here are the results.

On Sunday, March 18 four teams of photographers went through the New York City subway. On five subway lines, 333 people agreed to be photographed. Looking through the collection is an eye-opening experience.

Here are the photos:

Why not try this in your city or small town?
