Most of the rallies and demonstrations I've attended over many decades have been fun. A couple, not so much. It's nice that a couple of my friends and I have many decades of working together on social-political issues. I'll be speaking at a number of venues this summer, including rallies.

It's funny: my friends and I remember a time when we attended demonstrations, we were "the young people." Now we are the old people! Thinking changes. I look at the fools giving us the finger, etc, and think that they have no idea the upset soon coming to their daily lives. Store shelves will empty, truck drivers and others will be out of work, and more.
