I finally got around to setting up my laptop, thank goodness for wireless modems!
So guess what I did last night?! I jumped on the subway and headed down to City Hall in Manhattan. I participated in my first political protest/rally! It was pretty cool, I'd guess anywhere from 5,000-10,000 people showed up for the Tax Day Tea Party. It was a very friendly crowd, but they were fired up about the state of our political affairs!
I stayed for about two hours, but the cold got to me and I left around 9:30, it took me forever to get back because the sidewalks were so blocked off, I had to walk around a few city blocks just to get back to the subway.
I really hope this grassroots movement makes it somewhere, I don't want my future (?) children to owe for what our politicians are doing now!

If we pay fewer taxes now, would they pay more later?
Not trying to be smart or anything, just wondering what the protest was for. Clue me in! :)
