ok, i just got home (2 hour commute) but on the way, i went through the protest zone, to find that it was over. i guess they're on tour - following Bush. (now that Jerry is gone, they gotta follow someone!) anyway, i wanted to put some of GoatBoy's words to the street, along with some new material from friendlies in the office, dissappointed that it was over, i stopped for a minute to look around...
i paused near an unfortunate soul who was sitting on the sidewalk in front of a sign that read: "homeless with HIV please help, God Bless" so i asked him if any AIDS activists gave him any money, and he said NO! i couldn't believe it, so i asked him when he arrived, he said he saw the protest sign mentioning funding for AIDS and asked for help - he said all the people got really "quiet and nervous-looking", and basically ignored him !!! i thanked him, gave him all my money (about $3.00) and went home laughing at the latest liberal hypocracy...
...maybe i should have cried. [V]
