Lucky stiff
Say what you will about Washington, DC, but it is an entertaining town. Every week a new throng of protestors, petitioners or marchers descend on the city to have their voices heard. While the majority of protests here in Washington may be more serious than the sort I was entertained by in Boulder (where, for example, a group called WAAK-OFF marched against the university bookstore because it sold too much paper), every once in a while we get something trending towards the absurd side of comical.
Such is the case this week. With anti-circumcision activists demonstrating outside the DC Convention Center, Washingtonians everywhere are scratching their heads. It’s not that I – or I suspect most anyone – is especially in favor of non-religious circumcision. It’s just that it seems like a bizarre issue for people to get so worked up about and fly all the way from California to protest.
But scope out their awesome gear. I’d stop to talk to this chick:

Psh. That other blog didn't mention WAAK-OFF.
There are many reasons people get upset over circumcision but this is one. http://www.intact.ca/vidintro.htm Scroll to the bottom of the page and watch the video. Another reason, the glans as nature intended is an internal organ with a protective covering. Over time the circumcised penis looses sensation without protection. Many people would like circumcision to stop because it is a needless operation and quite cruel.
