Sophomoric, absurd

To all those who participated in last weekend’s “die-in,” your sophomoric attempt to show us the “horrors of war” using a sound-effects tape and some ketchup packets is, at best, amusement for passers-by. At worst, it’s an insult to our troops, some of whom are experiencing the real thing.

Most would agree that exercising your right to peaceably protest is just as American as eating a slice of apple pie. Most would probably also agree that sitting down and eating 20 slices at once is absurd.
