Why protest? I had lunch with Eliza today and as we were walking back to the tram stop, we saw all these school kids outside the state library protesting against war, with all the usual banners and shirts with the messages. One of the speakers was saying that they are exercising their democratic right to protest. That is true, but is it also their right not to go to school and learn? I'm all for protesting, but how many school students would go if it was after hours or in their own time. I'm not sure whether their motives are right in protesting, they simply get an afternoon of hanging out in the foodcourt at Melb Central and singing and chanting in the streets, disrupting traffic, thats about it.

Other than that it was fairly boring today, met up with Alcee to give her the notes from yesterday and wandered around the city a bit, but thats about all!
