"How I would protest the Republican Convention"
Edited on Tue Jul-20-04 04:48 PM by bleowheels
The idea below is from the following link

http://greg.org/archive/2004/07/13/how_i_would_protest_at_the_republican_convention.html


"How I Would Protest At The Republican Convention
Due to a work-related trip out of the country, I will miss the Republican Convention when it comes to town. If I were here, I would protest. I would not use signs, or puppets, or chants; I would protest by reenacting the shocked, dusty exodus from lower Manhattan on the morning of September 11th.

Here's how I would do it:

... I would take seriously my responsibility as a New Yorker who lived through that horrible day, and take its symbolism back from the politicians who ignored the warnings, did nothing to prepare, sat or flailed wildly when it happened, sowed fear with it ever since, used it to falsely justify a war of misplaced vengeance, put us all in even greater danger than we were before, and who are now coming to town to usurp the most widely shared monument to their failure.

But maybe that's just me."

That is someone who has really given this alot of thought.
