I always post these pictures accompanied by lots of photo tech talk on the world's most popular photo forum because it gets the word out past the choir. Someone there suggested that they would look better in black & white. Here is the one that really felt like it belonged in gritty grayscale.
Well, on a personal note -- I'm moving to Istanbul for awhile next week. So I won't see anyone on the streets anytime soon. I won't change too much. And I hope that you don't either. But, seriously despite our differences, don't we all, in the quiet of our own conscious, if not in the heat of political rhetoric, agree that among the many things we learned these last few years is that there really was a difference between George Bush and Al Gore?
And, despite all of our anger at the compromises of the Democrats, all indications are that there will be that kind of difference again in 2008. I still believe that we owe it to the world to make a new start, even though we know it won't be a perfect one.
These look just exactly the same as every other march.
I just heard there were people there harassing radicals.
I will not go to another of these marches. There are better ways to change the world than peace-copping everyone into submission to your egotistical, white male, authority.
The next time I go to any march, it will be something without white-guy "sponsors," without peace cops, and without money buckets. Fuck you all.
