The Intersection in Question
Posted by admin under random
Monday evening, the intersection in question was complete engulfed by No on Prop 8 supporters. Tuesday morning, the day before the election, I drove into that intersection and a triumphant horde of Yes on 8 peeps. They screamed, shouted and waved their signs victoriously, as if to reclaim the intersection from enemy hands. A few No supporters stood forlornly among the Yes men. They held their signs and tongues.
As I drove back from work, the intersection was surging with even more people, but this time I’d say it was an even match up between Yes and No. They ran back and forth between corners. They demanded that cars honk. They screamed at each other. No one, either on the sidewalk, in the crowd or in their car could possibly tell who was supporting who. When cars honked, the protesters all cheered, believing it was a high-5 for their side.
Election tomorrow. Wish America luck.
