Would you believe it? Two years! As of yesterday, it’s been two years since this…
And this…
And this…
And when a horse did this…
(Apologies to anyone who was reading this while having lunch)
Yeah, it’s been two years. Scary. I remember that this demonstration was a turning point for me, personally. It made me realize that the tide was turning on the public’s view of the war, considering the huge numbers out in opposition to the war. There were protests feeding in and out of other protests, and I saw protest signs that day literally from the moment I arrived at Vienna to the moment I left Vienna that night. And the city looked kind of rough after it, too, with all the paper scattered through the streets.
Still, two years… wow… I still can’t get over that. It still feels as if it were yesterday, getting all ready for a black bloc in Dupont Circle…

Song: "Oh, say can you see, by the TV's blue light..." (beginning of a cheer)
Quote: And I still can't get over this photo, where the guy scooped up some of the horse feces with his poster! I still don't want to know what he ultimately did with it, though I'll bet it wasn't pretty...
