I guess I'm just to old. I look at the protests before my time and see people with beliefs who speak them, show them and don't just do it for the camera. There are tons of people walking around 42nd street and the protesters are quiet and just milling around until there's a camera. What about the people watching in person. Don't they need convincing? Where's the spirit to protest? Where's the truth? I may not agree with what they're protesting about but that doesn't matter at the moment. What I'm just disgusted with is the apparent lack of 'soul'. Its like they're just going through the motions. I expect more heart out of protesters. I guess I'm just in a mood today. I expect more from humanity.
