The shoe that was thrown at Bush matters more than all the voting youre gonna do in your life. Dont fool yourself
Okay, buddy.
I'm sure you are more politically relevant than we are.
It certainly mattered to Canadian politics. One of our politicians participated in a shoe throwing event at -24 in Montreal where ppl threw their shoes at a picture of Bush to protest US involvement in that incident and Harper 's willingness to engage Canada in a meaningless war. One of the protesters was a provincial left-leaning party co-leader and MNA (Amir Khadir).
However, voting matters more than one successful protest on one issue. You would need to throw thousands of shoes to get shit done if that's how you want to go about it.
I can only hope for people in there to go from shoes to bricks really fast
What exactly did that shoe accomplish?
it was pretty funny, I liked it
Showing disgust for the genocidal ghouls that rule the USA.
It got an MNA in hot water for his involvement in a protest in Montreal where people went out at -24C and threw their shoes at a picture of Bush.
