Random thoughts about the No Kings event in Scottsdale:
-People show up badly equipped for spending 2 hours in the heat (even though today wasn't that bad). Shorts, open toed shoes and no water - not good.
-Do we not have any modern protest songs? Everything I heard was straight out of a Vietnam movie.
-Where are the community leaders? They need to be out here visibility and audibly.
-We need to see a lot more young people in the crowd.
Facebook reminded me of this gem:
My daughter's soccer coach had a schedule conflict and couldn't show up until the start of the second half. So I started warming the team up until the substitute coach arrived. When he showed up, he said to me -- and I quote:
"Wot tame is kack-off mint tae be?"
It took me a second to realize that A) he's from Scotland and B) he wanted to know when the match was scheduled to start.
