(However, the weather is surely getting chillier by the day.)<br /><br />I know what you mean about not being so fond of crowds, but will admit to being a veteran participant in many marches, etc over the years.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481510413550460157.post-15527766714279853872011-10-06T21:39:35.467-04:002011-10-06T21:39:35.467-04:00Wow!

It looked a little like that almost every day for awhile there.<br /><br />One great thing about NY: I am young, granted, but I don't think I've ever seen an NYC protest turn dangerous in my lifetime. I've sometimes wondered whether NYers will come out to protest ANYTHING, just for the good time.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468713627933431744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481510413550460157.post-68229136670944891472011-10-06T15:48:04.604-04:002011-10-06T15:48:04.604-04:00I thought about you when I heard about the protest...I thought about you when I heard about the protesters. Hope your far away from the crowds and safe.<br /> <br />As a life long, I am 64, Democrat who votes across part lines, I personally am sick of Wall Street and the East Coast Political Intelligentsia telling me, someone who lives in a Border Town how to think and live.<br />Plus I am thinking of joining the Tea Party just because of someone like the extraordinary man with the sign that has such a wonderful grasp of words in your photo. Some gallows humor on my part.<br /><br />I also feel terribly sad about the direction our society is going. <br />My vote never seems to count anymore. By the time they get around to count my vote, the East Coast has already call every election.<br /><br />Stay safe.<br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481510413550460157.post-30005329763614376462011-10-06T15:43:45.924-04:002011-10-06T15:43:45.924-04:00Yes, that's what democracy is all about.
