I'm in Dallas and haven't figured out how to post pictures yet but will.
If everyone waiting outside the barricades can be said to be protesting,
and I think that is true, there were hundreds of people in the rain
and bitter cold, if not a couple of thousand, near the Dealey Plaza barricades.
We had to watch the passionless and tasteless ceremony on a
big screen whose sound didn't work correctly. I thought the
only good element was that they ended with the Navy Hymn. The
mayor's speech was a disgracefully self-serving apologia for Dallas. If they
wanted to look like a police state and to display unresolved and richly deserved guilt
feelings in the process, they figured out the perfect way to do it. -- Joe McBride
If the photos are on your computer or Smart-whatever, the place to upload photos is just below this window - where you choose if it is from computer/device or internet and then select and then upload.
Joe, I was able to hear some [enough!] of the official bullshit of the Mayor and it was, as you say, disgusting and distasteful!
If you read this, PLEASE tell J. Judge the Ustream feed yesterday was TOTALLY distorted [un-viewable and inaudible!!!], sadly...and to please not repeat that mistake today - urgent. I hope they have a different stored version of the talks. If not, the Conference, for the first time I can remember will be lost to all but those who attended - a great shame on the 50th! ::willynilly::
