Waking Up

I woke up this morning, hearing a throng of people shouting, one into a bullhorn and the rest cheering. Bleary-eyed, I ran downstairs with my camera.

I've read some places that the war protests have died off, but I guess it just goes to show that you can't believe any one media. Believe what you see with your eyes, I say. And this is what I've seen.

All the protestors were high school students. The interesting thing here is that this big purple building in the background is the high school, but none of the protestors attended it. I managed to glean this tidbit of information from a St. Benno Gymnasium (this school) student who was talking to me. I followed them for some time, and they were marching from high school to high school, and in fact walking through each school, shouting anti-war slogans.

I think the future ain't in too bad of shape, if these Germans are any indication...
