not much to say. went down to the protests. did the critical mass. it was all good fun. the one low spot that i would like to mention was the mutherfucking dumbass black bandana anarchists perched atop a bus stop trying to burn an american flag. personally, i'll never burn a flag or nor will i support it (that whole boy scout thing just made it taboo) but if you want to that's your business. but, watching them i couldn't quite make up my mind which was worse:
a) that the video footage of these morons was going to be used to represent the thousands of protestors that had come out
or
b) that the morons were too dumb to figure out how to light the flag on fire.
thinking about it a bit more, it was probably a combination of both. if they had, say, brought a cotton flag (instead of a synthetic one) or, say, soaked in gasoline it would have gone right up and that would have been that. instead they screwed around it for a good ten minutes letting the tv cameras get plenty of footage and giving the few republicans standing around a chance to do some (in my humble opinion) rather clever heckling. all i've got to say is fuck those guys. if the black bandana crew never showed up to another protest i'd be happy enough to piss myself.
