We’re going to the parade today, nearer the end of the route. Our Conservative children say they want to bring American flags to wave at the Occupiers, as they sing the Star Spangled Banner. We only have two kids, though, so I’m not expecting to start a huge counter-protest.
As to the Cal Poly students who will not cede their place to the Occupy people, many of them probably vote Democrat. But you’re right that they haven’t much in common with the Victims studies majors.
We were just at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last week, looking around and taking a hike. Many beautiful, fairly new, dormitories and buildings, with every conservation and earth friendly feature spelled out in signs next to the buildings. A whole lot of tax money must of gone there, but the students there are extremely sharp and have practical majors. They should be more capable than most of repaying the money by being productive future tax payers.
We didn’t see any Occupy people at all. I think the kids were disappointed. We were at the very end of the parade route. I guess Occupiers are better at squatting than marching.
