Reply to "Oh, no, here come The Republicans!"

No, seven, I never saw your post til now, and I am fed up with this hee-haw-snicker-snicker attitude that Republicans will actually walk out onto the sidewalks of Manhattan, to visit restaurants, movies, plays or any form of sex worker! Everyone I know is staring into dead air. Everything is going to be called into their hotel rooms! (Or rather, smart sex-workers are already booked into the hotels!) No, no-one's dainty foot need touch the ground...

Here in the 20-30s between 6th and 7th Avenues, Ground Zero 2004... the anxiety level is enormous. You work in this utterly insane neighborhood, seven, don't you walk around wondering if you're going to get nuked by 5 PM? I'm completely nervous wondering if my loft, my cats -- or the building! -- are still going to be here when I return. It's just like the days after 9/11. But worse, because there's no fact to react to: just this hideous $300 million-dollar anticipation. I'm jumping at every sound. Everytime a helicopter goes over I'm running to check the news.

They have helicopters with laser-sights surveying the lint in your belly-button...
10,000 NYC policemen in these few square blocks. Churches issuing ID's to the homeless so they can get to the local soup-kitchen. Your march has no official destination (yet) but they've got the holding pens/jail at Pier 57 all ready! Though I totally understand Stacey Amber's POV on being at the front lines, and commend her for it, this creature neither wants nor needs a personal FBI agent as sexy escort for the rest of her life.

This is a created hell, and I won't sit in the middle of it to be tormented. I would guess Bloomberg has SO lost the vote in this neighborhood. My big protest this year is to go out and vote for Kerry.

Prove me wrong, I really hope so. And again -- good luck to everyone!
