why are people doing stupid things like lying in the road?

when i see

people lying on the street blocking

traffic,

joining arms,

preventing

police from doing their job,

or keeping people

from going to work.

i wonder what's wrong with them.

what mental illness

do they have?

does this really

help their cause?

do they think this is some heroic

gesture.

that will change the world,

or one single

mind that sees it on tv?

will they recount the votes

because of this

and put someone else in power?

i don't think so.

don't they have families,

loved ones,

jobs of their own.

dogs to walk, groceries

to shop for,

why are they doing this?

why don't they come to their

senses,

and go home?
