Protest

One of the things I love most about this city is that there is always somebody doing something worth watching. Sometimes I'm entertained, if only mildly, and sometimes it's really not worth watching, but I am often surprised with the thought that this would never happen in MI.

Today on my lunch break, I saw this poster: So many people are really upset with the proposed increases to the subway fares. And with a 20% or so increase, it's no wonder. And when you rely on public transportation, there's not much you can do--you're stuck with paying what they charge. So I found the poster funny.

When I was coming back from lunch, I saw a little protest across the street from TJ's. There was a woman with a bullhorn, a couple of people holding signs, and most importantly, what there always is during these protests, a bunch of people walking right past them totally ignoring them!
