You kids today, with your protests, and your encampments, and your opposition to a genocidal war, I am old enough to be your *great* grandparent, and I gotta tell you something that, in your naive and wild and feckless youth, you may not have yet heard:

I am so proud of you.

I love you, and I support your efforts to end this war, and I oppose in the strongest possible terms the deployment of armed thugs to prevent your peaceful protest.
