I keep reading and hearing things saying stuff like "Vote and be ready to march if we need to!" so in other words, democracy is great as long as our side wins. People in this town might be in for a big shock. It's the ultimate case of preaching to the choir and standing around telling each other how right we all are. A completly insular world. Another thing, if everyone does decide that the election was "stolen" and take to the streets with signs, do you really think that anyone will give a shit or that it will effect anything? If people really did "steal" the election, do you think they're going to care what a couple of hundred thousand (all over) stinky kids in the street protesting have to say? Street protests are the ultimate in self-delusion. They've never changed a thing. Not during Vietnam, not when all the anti-abortion people rally and not when the US went into Iraq. You might be able to make a case for civil rights but I don't think that really counts as they also had the federal govt on their side.

OK, I'm going to LA tomorrow for a week of rock & roll on a boat - tagging along with Those Peabodys to All Tomorrow's Parties. See you next week sometime.
