Robert is exactly the type of person these marchers are targeting:

He is down for the day, not up on the issues and not being familiar with either socialism or the actual law in question thus finds an interest in what is said.

If the image of Che didn’t clue him in nothing will. In my opinion anyone who wears an image of Che has no business talking about rights and justice.

Ted Leonard is what you would call a “true believer”:

His opinion of President Obama was pretty consistent with everyone else in the crowd “Si Se Puede” cries not withstanding.

Jack was about to go see a show when the march passed by. He gave me a few minutes of his time:

Unfortunately for me he started talking before I was ready so there is no real intro he just jumps in and the crowd at the end drowned him out a bit.

Marcus Neshay is a performer from the Bread and Puppet theater in Vermont

He is commenting on one of the more violent episodes of the narcissist labor movement the Chicago Haymarket Riots of 1886. I think we can safely say that things have improved a bit since then.

This is a great example of a movement that has achieved a real gain looking for a new cause. It deserves a longer post and I’ll write one on the subject later this week.

BTW he can really recite. I think he would be great at any kind of dramatic reading.
