My boss is closing the store during the convention so that we can go protest. She says that she expects to be thrown in jail. I'll be right with her, but alas they will seperate us and either throw me in with the men, or put me in a "special" holding tank. I feel so strongly about what Tolstoy referred to as "Non-resistance" which so greatly inspired Ghandi and Martin Luther King, but with Bush and his cronies and all that are with him coming to our city, my heart and soul are full of desire to be at the barricades expressing my disgust and disdain. I consider myself very fortunate that I work for a woman that also feels so strongly about it that she would actually close her shop to be there. I will be right there with her and everyone else who cannot hold back from putting themselves on the line of protest.
