Ron, The one point that I would like to make and that would be missed by anyone reading your posts is this: there were 30,000 or more protesters. Only a few, 100 or less, acted violently or vandalized. So to charachtarize the other 29,900 or more protesters as anything other than peaceful protesters is just a plain lie. It makes me wonder about the national media. Another thing is this: After watching the (group of 30 or so) vandals and hearing about their activities for about 15 minutes on TV, I wanted to call 911 myself and report it. It is inconceivable to me that 3 or 4 blocks from a protest of 30,000 people that the authorities didn't know about them. Why didnt they do anything about it? I just dont get it. They had at least a half hour.

Well Ron, you've convinced us that indeed, you're a law and order kind of guy, of a certain sort; but then so were Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler and some other famous people. Maybe you need a refresher course in Freedom 101. But then maybe not, it probably wouldn't compute. I do wish you would get another kind of job though; something productive and where you could do less damage. And yes, I forgive you too, it's the least I can do. As for having insulted you, I do demure on that one. I was indeed charitable, having only stated the obvious but even then not to it's full extent. Vya con Dios
