I’m not sure which of you remember Bush's 60-town tour across the United States, in which he made 60 stops giving a speech in each of these towns about his plans for Social Security. Well I live in a small town in New Jersey called Westfield, we were honored and blessed enough to be graced with his Presence here, and I believe we were town #32. But what I wanted to bring up in this thread was the way that the kids in my school and the lower class of my town, which there is hardly any of, decided to protest against his visit. They respectably went to the Mayor and received a pass allowing them to protest down the road on an open field which I am fine with.
What bothers me am that after agreeing on this place for the protest, they ridiculously exploded through their designated protest zone and began to move up closer to the Westfield Armory which is where Bush was giving his speech. They stopped outside the armory and continued to protest while the police began arresting people due to their intrusion that was not allowed. One kid even said, "this is not freedom” I find it ironic that this very same kid is an anarchist that dropped out of school this past year, he would have been entering his junior year of high school.
His reason for dropping out was the fact that since this town is a very high-class town he hates the fact that all the people in the town are so conservative and respectable. I had the pleasure of speaking with him on many occasions since he was in one of my classes, and he tried persuading me into becoming an anarchist :icon_mrgr all I could do was laugh and defend the country I love. He used an example of a small tribe in Africa consisting of 200 people that use anarchy and say it works. I would love to see how well it went over with well over a million times that many people. Last I heard he was giving head for crack on the streets of NY after dropping out (just kidding).
