Now, what are the precentages of kids protesting that actually know what bill was passed and what it actually means? Kids at my school "protested". about 25 kids walked out, we told them to get off of campus or they will be ticketed for disrupting school education. They stood across the street, hidden so few people could see them, then left. only one or two people knew exactly what the bill was. Sad.

What's the point in holding up Mexican flags if you are protesting American immigration? Isn't the fact that you are protesting while in American telling you that you willingly came to a place you perceive as offering a better life for you? And "Viva Mexico" says nothing about American immigration. Looks like most took this as opportunity to espouse the greatness of their homeland instead of the greatness of the land in which they live now and protesting the potential disallowment of others to have the same opportunity.

I like the shots, Erin.. again, especially since you were on the sidelines. I do see Leslie back there in one.. ain't too many people that tiny, that blonde, with that big of a lens.

That is funny, nobody in any of the pics are carrying an american flag.
So what's the soldier doing anyway? He protesting, security, homeland security?

Do all Dallas motorcycle cops drive small motorcycles?

Yeah I think the Dallas cops dropped the hogs a couple years ago and went to all rice burners.
What is really interesting more of the motorcycle cops are guys with gray hair than younguns, I've talked to several that are close to 60 (rather odd but many of them bank at my bank and sometimes I'll be in line with them and we will chat for a few seconds).
