Oh my gosh. You've GOT to find a way to go to a Freep or SOMETHING. It will renew your faith in your fellow man, if nothing else. Freepers are tremendous.
Actually, I did take part in a demonstration in Milwaukee back in 2000 during the recount. We were there visiting family and I saw it posted on FR so we went downtown and took part. I talked to some of the others but have no idea who they were. People took turns speaking and then we marched through the streets, carrying signs before disbanding and going our own ways. I remember one old lady in a fur coat, riding in the back of a Lincoln Continental flipping us off. I got a good laugh out of that one.
I’ll be retired before the 2012 elections. I intend to travel and get more involved in freeping and meeting some of you fine folks. I also want to attend the inaugaration of a real president in ‘12.
Living in NW ND puts me a long ways away from the action.
