One of the things that is really amazing me about the stories that trickle out are the little things. Like the protesters who surrounded the national museum of antiquities to prevent looters from stealing ancient treasures until police could get there. Or protesters picking up litter after battles. Or protesters and military/police sitting down and chilling out together after a long confrontation. I don't know if this is totally unheard of but, to me, it feels...different. And good.
I just saw a set of photos that really brings it all together for me without words. A desire to change and a willingness to fight but without the need to demonize, to make the people you are striving against "the other". http://protestorskissingriotcops.tumblr.com/ It gives me hope. I wish it were like that here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:333799 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
