You could win a BAG OF CROUTONS!

Really!!! They're quite tasty.

Skip the intro and enter the pool!

There are two types of people in this world, those that like the X-Files, and those that are part of the conspiracy to enslave the human race. That said, let’s move on to something about protests.

There are two types of people who protest things – those who are ideological, and feel that by being out with a hundred other like-minded people, they may just get Pepsi to drop rapper “Ludakris” as their spokesperson. Then there are those who are cynical, who feel that there is nothing they can to influence the world, but they are so riled up they’ll attend a protest anyway, shout their feelings into the blank air, maybe get high, and go home complaining about how they missed out on the glory days of disaffected grunge.

So, which are you? Since everyone who protests things knows everything – here’s a challenge:

Will there be a war?

If you say yes, give your learned estimate of the date in which it will begin. If you say no, give your heartfelt assertion of the date in which the first major group of troops will return back home. (As reported by the Associated Press, for consistency’s sake.) If you think there will be a war, you have to guess both the date of the air-war AND the ground-war, since, let’s face it, it’s far more likely that there will be a war.

For a tie-breaker, let us know how many people you think will attend the inevitable protest no matter what happens. Since there are a lot of protests, this will the first major march on Washington the week following the commencement of air-strikes, or the decision to “wait.” (Pro-war protesters can make signs too, you know.) The person closest to the attendance tally as reported by the Associated Press will win the tie-breaker.

And what will the winner receive? The winner will receive the right to be “holier than thou” for a full 3-days, as well as a bag of Caesar Salad croutons, in honor of the Pax Americana that will follow this war. Or maybe in honor of the crispness of peace, or possibly the successful efforts of the French to avoid war, should that actually happen.

So -- ENTER THE POOL!
