Careers Fair, Fandom High Front Lawn, Friday Afternoon, 07/21/06

By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions.

And despite what the mainland weather forecast said, it was definitely a nice, fine day.

"Well, I'm a pacifist so that's the 'objector' part. I don't agree with violence as a way of settling disputes, but war happens and people get hurt. And I wouldn't want people to suffer if I can help them. I may not agree with war, or that the powers that be have chosen it as a course of action. But the suffering should be comforted and the innocent protected. Also, I thought it would be easier to effect change from the inside. That's the 'conscientious' part."
