[Leica] Yet Another Sign of the Times

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

Hey, Mark - Bullshit!
Yes, the election's over. Yes, Bush is President.
But, no, there is no excuse under the sun for what was described in the
post in question. The guy wasn't trying to shoot the towers of the GW
Bridge or the window of Don Rumsfeld's office at the Pentagon.

It's bad enough that we've reached a point in this country when we can't
even take photos of old buildings in the middle of Eastbejesus without
being harassed; it's allot worse when we start to think that we
shouldn't be upset by that, or object to it, because "the election's
over folks." If we come to accept that, democracy's over, folks.

End of political spiel. Back to which Summicron's the best Summicron and
why some people buy equipment they really have no rational need for -
wasn't that the topic earlier today? ;-)

Hey folks the election is over lets get off our soap boxes.

Photography makes people nervous and cops have got to look like they are
doing something.

We will be suffering the aftermaths of this devastating attack for quite
some time. It this were any other country we'd all be inside with the
lights out every night after dinner and no dessert.

The election is over folks. We've got Bush for four more years and
there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

Lets not be our own worst enemies and try to be on the same side the
best we can.

Cops are people. There is no demonic conspiracy going on.

Peace Love Woodstock
