yep, dr3k... hope to see you down the road
If the kind of people, mostly younger than myself, that I met today and picketed with today are at all a cross-section of American youth, than America's future is in good hands.
This whole day of picketing was so well conceived, organized and carried out. It could not have gone better. I could feel a palpable sense of safety, concern, gratitude and joy for all us "old school" critics there. Meanwhile there was a very mature sense of ownership, responsibility, positive virtue and just plain fun about their own protest. And the day was their own. I felt like an appreciated guest with about 500 gracious hosts. When it came time to move or march they were all business, but not in an intimidating or creepy way. The masks were more playful and whimsical rather than scary.
Their were many "trusted servants" handing out water, food, picking up trash; keeping us moving on the sidewalk, not letting old farts like me do too much jay-walking.
Many of the picket signs were very well done, layed out and graphically attractive. The slogans of the signs were well thought out, pithy and I could tell that their homework had been done. I was especially impressed with all the hand-outs that Anon had there. They were easy to read, thoughtful and varied greatly over all the topics that Scientology criticism entails.
Kudos to Anonymous... what nice people they were!
