the tea party demonstrations are big news now…
but those of peace activists and those demonstrating against the latest gift from the Bush administration.. the ruling that gave corporations the right to secretly invest substantial sums in our elections .. didn’t get much press coverage at all.
Glen Beck half fills the plaza and it’s big news. When a peace cause does the same it is completely ignored.
although i admire those who still get out to walk the streets in a demonstration….
there are a lot of ways to participate in a democracy.
engaging in political conversation in public spaces.. like this forum… is one of them.
at least here someone stops to talk…
it takes conversation to make people think a little more about what they assume is right.
