Report on New York Protests

It's frightening to send your child to NYC, especially when you know the city is crawling with Republicans. Sam has a good head on his shoulders, though, and, I am sure, will avoid the temptation to associate with people he knows have bad values.

That said, here's his view of some protests he saw yesterday: "the protest was interesting. you would not believe the noise that a few hundred thousand people on a manhattan street can make when they put their minds to it. my favorites would have to be the communists (who all wore castro/mao suits - not really a good publicity move?), who chanted 'fuck bush! fuck kerry! revolution is necessary!' and carried signs that read 'fight weak liberalism with strong communism'." Sounds fun . . .
