Failed Protest

George Bush came to Cisco Systems today for a visit with with some business leaders and our Governator. As curious citizens we decided to take a short walk from Altera to Cisco in anticipation of a brief glance at the motorcade or if not that then just hang with the protestors. At first we thought the protests were located at the corner of 1st and Tasman, but there wasn't anybody there. The cops there pointed us to where he thought the people might be. We gullibly believed him. Everytime we got within like a mile of the building where Bush was going to be, we were turned away by stern faces. After walking for almost an hour with several other want-to-be protestors, we gave up and went back to work. Was the rally really that unorganized or is our freedom just perceived and not actually possessed?

  • Hey, good shot. None of mine were any good. Somehow, I don't think they're so tricky that they could manage to defuse a protest like that, but, who knows?
