Thursday Poll: 83 of 98 (85 percent) respondents said they
haven’t had a speeding ticket in the last three years. CindyH is one of three
who admits she’s had more than one speeding ticket in last three years.
Speaking of using kids at protests, my sister was watching a documentary on the Dixie Chicks, called “Shut up and Sing.” A woman was holding a toddler, and a sign, and she was telling her child to say stupid, stupid. Reminds me of the neo-nazis here, dragging little kids around with them. Ugh. Do I think there will be protests when Palin comes to town? Only at people having to purchase a book from the downtown bookstore first. People will protest as I will by not attending. I think we’re too polite to stage a protest, but I guess time will tell.
