I can't wait to be a raging granny. Although I tried to stay informed as a young mother, I was much to busy to be truly, active. As the children grew older, I began participating in a few public protests but always held back because I wondered who would take care of my children if I went to jail. At this point, I only have a few years to retire and do not want to jeopardize my job or my pension. But just wait..... As an OAP, I will definitely be out there on the streets.

My son was involved in the Claquot protests and was tried with a couple of older, Quaker women. He really appreciated the fact that these women were there and that they supported what the younger folks were protesting. It made him feel that he wasn't alone.
