So much for the "Fort Boston" that I've been hearing about.
I took the Subway from outside Boston into Boston Commons today for class at Emerson...I saw a grand total of ONE police officer, and he was standing in front of the building in which I was having class. I had a huge-ass bag that could've had anything in it and wasn't stopped once.

"I ain't Bush" was Dean. Kerry seems content to follow Bush's lead on his Iraq policy.Originally posted by MichaeltheGreat

Gore's speech was pretty decent. It was the usual fire up the crowd rhetoric, but he delivered it with a good amount of fire & energy, I thought."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

I agree, it was better than I expected it to be."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Excellent speech by Carter, showed that he still has a distinct place in the party."I predict your ignore will rival Ben's" - Ecofarm

I'd say that it was a mediocre speech. Not enough passion (granted, he's not a young guy), and way too long. Certainly better than Mikulski's speech, but not as good as Gore's speech.Last edited by Ramo; July 26, 2004, 21:36."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Because they want to be taken seriously among their peers. Protest suggests weakness, lack of discipline, fanatacism, a penchant for mob behavior, anti-intellectualism, and can be a real hinderance to one's political future. Do you honestly think that Kerry wouldn't make his whole Vietnam Veterans Against the War thing disappear right now if he could do so? Notice how he will be heavily spotlighting his comrades in arms (in Vietnam) at the convention, while I doubt that any of the loonies he was hanging out with from the V.V.A.W. will be on hand.Originally posted by GePap
Conventions were so much more interesting when they actually mattered for more than a temporary boost in ratings.
I wonder if there are any conservative demonstrators..how comes conservatives really never make use of the protest, one of the most effecitve tools of democracy?
Contrary to popular belief protest rarely has much impact these days politically. I haven't noticed much positive impact since the Civil Rights era, with the Vietnam War protests being far less effective at the time than they have been reported to have been more recently. Failed protest movements? Nuclear freeze, Animal Rights, hundreds if not thousands of environmental issues, anti-globalization, anti-GM, anti-Iraq war etc. ad nauseum.He's got the Midas touch.

Yeah, I'm afraid that President Carter doesn't have many years left. He really looked old up there.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Gore was great. If he had spoken with such energy and passion during his campaign...*sigh* His self-deprecating humor was pretty good.
Carter's speech was good, but his delivery was hampered by his age. He'll be 81 soon, so I can cut him some slack.
But good lord, some of these congresspeople are terrible! Tammy Baldwin, ever hear of trying to give a convincing delivery?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
