Just got back from our rally and march. A great group of about 400 people, highschoolers, retired workers, nuns and anarchists
gathered at noon in the central plaza, did a couple of rounds, and then marched
to the US Consulate’s office in a fancy office building some 10 blocks
away. (Also in that building is
Duke Energy, who generates the power I am at this moment consuming, and TransRedes, the Shell/Enron affiliate,
that pipes “Bolivian” carries gas and oil to buyers.) All along the way we received supportive
waves, honks, cheers. Arriving at the US Consulate’s office, we did all kinds of
chanting, singing, and general carrying-on. The nuns led a rousing rendition of Leon
Gieco’s “Solo le pido
a dios”, now a standard anti-war number, made
famous up there by Mercedes Sosa.
Not to be outdone, the radical students stared chanting for parts of
Bush’s genitalia. I was next
to the nun contingent, and was delighted to see some of them chanting along,
and when the chant died down, cracking up over their public transgressions. What an awful day; what a great day. ------------------------------------------ Tom Kruse Casilla 5812 Cochabamba BOLIVIA Tel/Fax: (591-4) 424-8242 eFax: (413) 280-5234 [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------ |
