They walked over from their offices. As the rally progressed, they grew more and more uncomfortable. They were surrounded by the hakot crowd—busloads of people who had been paid by politicians to appear at the event. This is not about class or snobbery. This is about wanting to express your outrage, and finding that the guy standing next to you was paid to show up. You hope that his outrage is genuine, and you really can’t begrudge him accepting money because he probably needs it. But it’s not right. This is not what People Power was supposed to be. People were supposed to be united by their convictions. Now it’s been reduced to a show of numbers. My friends repaired to a nearby Starbucks, where a whole bunch of people who had also come to the rally from their offices had also taken refuge. That’s what they were: refugees.</I><BR/><BR/>I wonder if the "friends" Jessica is using for her source is actually herself. I wonder if she was at that rally herself (not because she supports the cause, but as an "bong austero-ish" usisero) and was just looking something negative to say, but couldn't express her opinions publicly (for it might tar her as a closet arroyo defender), so she made up some "imaginary friends" and lent <B>her voice</B> to them. ;)john marzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036820667908976630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11048437.post-58459824098116182452008-02-18T13:54:00.000+08:002008-02-18T13:54:00.000+08:00Thanks.

Let the others do the objective reporting bit. :-)<BR/><BR/>And I love that 20-year old camera.Jegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806891595153451306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11048437.post-21664458915654765482008-02-18T11:14:00.000+08:002008-02-18T11:14:00.000+08:00Once again, great reporting!
