Ordinary people join in protests
Many who don't fit the usual definition of demonstrators have joined the trade talks protests.
BY AMY DRISCOLL

The free trade protesters descending on Miami are all young, pierced and tattooed, right?

Tell that to Camilla Schneider, 60. The elementary school teacher and 34-year educator held her banner high at a protest against the Gap in Miami Beach this week, unfazed by companions less than half her age.

And -- except for the gray hair, long flowered skirt and sensible shoes -- there wasn't a whole lot of difference between the teacher and the other demonstrators.

Like the others, she wore a ''gapatista'' sash over a white T-shirt bearing the word ''Crap'' in letters like those used by the Gap logo.
