I think a lot of people supporting it are listening to the people who (a) shout the loudest and (b) are full of their own self-importance and are (c) seen as popular. Peer group pressure is a very strong thing, and I think a lot of people are scared of losing friends if they break the strike.
One of my friends who thinks it's incredibly stupid has been accused of homophobia - and she's a gay rights activist!
I'll confess that most of my posts today have been idiotic rubbish, but I'm about to write a "normal" post, detailing my day, with some final thoughts on the strike thrown in for good measure.
