St Pete for Peace update

Thanks to everyone who voted in the St. Pete Times poll. I am unsure who wrote this (though it sounds like something Carol, and DUer, would write), but here is an update. There is much more at the link.

Last week was a little too much for management. Maybe it was the sight of 247 people having a better time protesting than consuming. Maybe it was the fact that the live street music caused Wet Willies’ patrons to miss a drink or two on their way to a staggering stupor. Maybe…no, probably…the sight of an empowered citizenry scares Them (as in, capital-“T”-“Them”) so much that violating the Constitution seems like a small price to pay when compared with the alternative. And that alternative is real democracy, as opposed to the camera-ready kind which plays well against a backdrop of flags and puppet governments (including our own).
