Why don't the Socialists like me?

At lunchtime yesterday I walked up to the offices of radio 2SER in Sydney to choose some music for this weeks show.

2SER is on the top floor of the University Technology Sydney building and out the front there are sometimes student groups telling you how John Howard is scum because he did this or Phillip Ruddock is scum because he did that.

But yesterday's Left Wing representatives were the Socialist Alternative and they were there handing out leaflets for some up coming rally or protest.

Now I don't have a problem with this, if these guys want to spend their days standing out on the street instead of working well that's their business.

What I do have a problem with is that these brown shirt wearing, Trotsky wannabe losers did not hand me any of their leaflets. They literally pressed them into the hands of anyone who walked into their Pincer manoeuvre that looked like a student but when I walked past wearing a business shirt and pants, they wouldn't even look me in the eye!

Did they assume that because I've got a hair cut and got a real job that it was useless spending any time trying to sway me to their cause?

Do I look so close minded? Also I think the reverse is true, why spend time preaching to students when most of them would already be converted to your cause any way?

But I suppose it is the easier way out. Why spend time talking to someone you will need to expend a lot of energy to convince if you won't spend any energy on finding a job?
