CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IS FUN!

From Tommy Devine's Cosmos Report on Blogspot,


Of course I had to check it out. When I arrived a group of protesters had already formed.

These guys were literally trying to drum up a crowd. At its peak there were about 75 people present at the rally.

The usual suspects were on hand, such as pot politician Dan Melick (far left) and libertarian leader Terry Franklin (far right) shown here conversing with a student marijuana activist.

The signs people made were both clever and funny.



Others were a little more extreme.







At one point an authoritative looking person in a suit and tie came out and complained about the obscenities on some of the signs, but did not try to confiscate them. Indeed, his displeasure only made people with "fuck" signs wave them more enthusiastically.
