But I'm sure there were people protesting all sorts of other things too. They didn't seem that cohesive.<br /><br />> the success of local businesses is a good thing, too. But we also need big businesses<br /><br />Of course both would be best. The local businesses don't always survive the big ones moving in though. That's not a reason to drive big business away, but it's probably why it's "not necessarily a good thing".<br /><br />And I totally agree that Dave makes an excellent point. Actually doing constructive would have been better. Perhaps since one of their issues is mortgage related, helping the homeless? ...is that why they were all sleeping in a park?micknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-56316387260463139222011-12-11T09:41:31.730-06:002011-12-11T09:41:31.730-06:00I like the way you think, Dave.I like the way you think, Dave.Albatrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156254141379602471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-31786246284477049412011-12-11T08:15:23.493-06:002011-12-11T08:15:23.493-06:00It all seems to be working backwards.

It seems now that we have a bunch of people (though, from what I have seen downtown, <i>a bunch</i> might be generous) gathered simply for purpose of protesting. Now that they have the protestors, they are looking for any issue to protest against.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be nice if we could have these people meet-up and decide to use their forces to do some community service projects like painting over graffiti or helping the elderly with yard work?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752379587655151211noreply@blogger.com
