I also posted a link to a great blog photographically covering all the outside goings( fear and loathing)(http://drunkatdnc.blogspot.com/) on some great pictures and some vids of some of the protests. It appears the arrests were based on prior testament of the Mayor that if people were told they were in the way and didn't move, permits or not, they would be physically moved or arrested. Something like that. The major media is only interested in making drama of a rather dull convention.

I think she has a point in that it gets paid closer attention because its older when there might be more contemporary fiction that applies more to adolescence but maybe gets overlooked. i'd never support classice being taken out of a curriculum tho. i dunno.

I think this election is so important because the US as the dominant world power is declining. We are not number 1 anymore and if we want others to help us in the future or not screw us over we need to start being more humble and humanitarian, and stop fighting ridiculous wars.
