how effective.
Im sure theres no guiding you to the light.
I will insist that 800,000++++++++ people marching in opposition to what we were handed by our overlords
meant more than another act of violence, youtube video or not.
Pretty sure you SHOULD have been arrested, as surely as those people should not have.
The most shocking moment for me, was marching in one of the events, and having a woman on a sidewalk say
that she recognized me. Having borrowed Peace Fresno t-shirts to flaunt during the event, I assumed she meant
that she knew the shirt, and pointed at it quizzically. In fact, she did know my face, as she had spent untold hours
editing the film.
I wish I could have spoken at length with her about her experience.
But then again, all of that was for nothing.
I could have just grabbed a Republican by the nostrils, and called it good.
