Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Are you going to the demonstration to help stop the spread of nuclear weapons tomorrow, Cleo? W: No, Simon. I hate demonstrations. I have heard the police will be standing by with tear gas. M: Yes, but North Korea boasts it has nuclear arms. W: One hundred ninety countries have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but the issues are just too complex. There are two sides to every story. I don't understand it and I have no intention of going to a demonstration. Demonstrations don't seem to accomplish anything anyway. M: Several demonstrations have changed politician's minds throughout history. As a responsible citizen I think it is important to stand up for what you believe in. W: Leave it to someone else. As I said, if you listen to both sides of a story, both sides have some good points. Why should I demonstrate and risk getting hurt for something that I am not even sure is right? M: You are not likely to get hurt. This will be a peaceful demonstration. I have spoken to the organizer for the university group. He insists that this will be peaceful. He advocates if you want world peace, peace begins at home-and that means right here in this city. W: You go if you want, Simon, but I plan to study for my physics exam. M: It would only take two hours of your day. The bus leaves the campus at 11:30 and leaves downtown to return to campus at 12:45. You could eat your lunch on the bus. W: I am not going, Simon. Why don't you ask the students in your political science class this afternoon if they want to go? M: They are all going. W: Okay, Simon. I need to meet my sister for coffee now. M: Bye then. See you in physics class tomorrow.
