I remember when I was in school in DC and I attended an IMF/World Bank protest and I also used the event as a project one my photo class; it would later be included in my New Media Online Portfolio at school in NY. At that A16 protest, I witnessed a Korean journalist be struck in the head and beaten to the ground by a DC Metro cop. We formed a circle around him until he could get some medical attention; I snapped a photo of him while in the cricle. I was also rammed while reloading my film by a cop on a motorcycle and sprayed with some seriously strong police-issue pepper spray. I don't recall seeing a single act of violence aimed back towards the cops during my 2 days out in the streets, but I know that there was some.
I don't know where I'm going with this one, but I just know that I really want to be there for the politics involved as well as the opportunity to practice my art. Another time, another place.

The Republican Nation Convention of 2004 was a gathering of terrorsts and dumbasses. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld should be rotting in prison. All the people who flew to New York City to be with them and lick their asses are stupid. In Governor Pataki's speech, he said that a boxcutter in the hand of a monster is a weapon of mass destruction and Saddam was a monster. It does not take much of a brain to know that you can't harm anyone with a box knife from thousands of miles away. His mother must have slipped on a banana peel when she was pregnant with him giving him some serious brain damage. Or maybe when he was being spit out of the womb, he got stuch and was suffocated for too long and that destroyed his brain cells.
America did not have to go to war with Iraq. That fuckin' GOP website says that the republican party has a budget to restrain spending. That is a fuckin' joke. This dumb ass president entered office with a surplus and made it into a huge deficit. They say they have real plans to save social security. President George W. Snatch and Pecker Cheney have raided it.
If anybody tries to send me to fight in their fuckin' war, I won't go. Why should I risk getting killed when the men who started this war are a bunch of yellow cowards who won't fight themselves? If we did not have these fascist sacs of shit, this war would not be happening. So I think if anybody has to go to war outside who is already in the military, it should be those who voted for them. I will not go into another country and kill poor people who did nothing to me, especiallly not when the men who started this war let domestic corporate felons who have ruined people's lives walk free. Bush has not attended one funeral of any fallen soldier. But if I had family who died in vein, I would not want the son of a bitch who lied to send them their at the funeral.
People think that Bush has defeated terrorists. Well Osama is still on the run. He could have got him and he failed.
During the presidential debate when Kerry brought up the sexual preference of Cheney's daughter, Cheney and that bitch wife of his were angry. I say that after all the untrue things Cheney had said about John Kerry during the campaign, he deserved that. I don't think John Kerry was wrong, he meant no harm, but even if he were, too bad. All they could do was lie about Kerry's reecord because they have so many failures. On the list of bushes achievements, they say he brought honor and integrity back to the white house. What kind of dumb fuck joke is that. A man with honor does not lie and screw his own people. He condemns Saddam Hussein for denying justice to his people while he has done the same to his own people.
