I am not sure how to post a report of a political event on a forum that has rules against politics. Those who can see it before it gets deleted please enjoy!
I just returned from the big parade and rally. First let me say that I am so glad I live in UT.... roughly 5K people showed up for the rally to protest Fed control of the land and only one smelly hippy in the bunch! The hippy was standing on the corner with a film crew encouraging the children on ATVs and motorcycles to rev their engines to make lots of smoke. No doubt to make a point about global warming in a propaganda video. Adults really shouldn't exploit children that way. The only other incident at the rally was as I was waiting in the staging area wearing my "Dear Leader Chairman Maobama" t-shirt some dude driving a Prius with CA plates drove by, gave me the finger and screamed "f*ck you!" There were at least 10 children in the immediate area..... another class act from the Peoples Republic of CA.
The parade was 3 lanes wide and the police shut down State St for us. There was a mix of different vehicles, even a tanker was on the route. There was a free concert on the lawn of the capitol and everyone was having fun and living together in harmony as I left.
Many of us adopted mob names; mine is "Joey the Jeep".
