Ship 'em to Canada--we have folks who throw pies 'n stuff into the faces of
our politicians, 'specially the PM :)
Signs--baah! I'd have put a banner across the street! ;)
Reading thru these two articles, looks like the police chief is falling in
his sword--'it was *my* decision to corral the demonstrators into one area',
though, as the columnist pointed out, putting *all* the demonstrators into
one area would have caused exactly what he was trying to avoid--putting a
pro-Bush next to an anti-Bush person...
And isn't it amazing how the chief said of those that had nice signs--'oh 80
percent of them I know personally...' so they got to stay out there, holding
their signs.
So if you know someone, you can get away with more--just like big oil
knowing Dubya.
Things that make you go, "Hmmmm...."
