		<description>Thanks.  It takes me a long time to edit and post pics so I am glad someone saw them.  This was one of the smaller protests I have been to but that is because the hidden secret Pynchon-ian protest society didn&#039;t have much time ;) I actually found out about this one through a friend I met while protesting the inauguration but there is also a &quot;website&quot;:http://worldcantwait.net/ that has more info. about protests.


What my main point was is that I think there is still a stigma created around the idea of protestors.  As in they are radicals and anarchists (the few self identified anarchists I&#039;ve met actually voted so even anarchists aren&#039;t too radical) But mainly, the people that come are those who have really lost loved ones or jobs or are just reasonable people who object to the administration&#039;s policies.  It&#039;s very reasonable and level headed, despite what most people think.  


The basic fact is this: most people aren&#039;t there to cause violence or harm to any other human being.  We are there because we believe in exercising the freedom our bill of rights gives us and to ensure we continue to have this right.</description>

		<description>Thanks for posting this, its nice to see photos like this, I always like your photos.  That does seem like a lot of people to show up to protest for something that was not a major political event or even well known.   I wonder how often this happens, I never hear about this stuff in the news,  Its interesting to think people probably just heard  about it a day or two before he arrived and wanted to show up.    

I know that when Bush travels in other countries the reception is overwhelming against him, but in those cases everyone knows he is coming.   Everything about the administration including his photo ops are so staged, it is so rare to hear or see the unvarnished fact.   Its really great to see these people protesting, its very meaningful and inspiring.  I am glad people are witness to truth and voice it and record it. the president doesnâ€™t even seem real anymore, hes just like a phantom, a weird straggler of something that once was, flickering like old black and white television reruns.  The public is so against him now, the power of the public in some ways is much greater than anyone wants to admit, this is a nice document you have presented, I like the ordinariness of it, the real life of it. it kind of amazes me that more than thirty pwople could get together and protest this man and his policies on a cold workday afternoon with practically no pre-notification.  
   I wish I could see back from the future and see how we look to them, these moments now what are they saying right now in the future?</description>
