This is the kind of day I don't want to do much. Stay under the covers, watch an old movie. I don't feel like talking much, my voice is hoarse.
Last night I joined ten thousand people on Michigan Avenue for Peace. We shout"What do we want ?" "Peace" "When do we want it, Now!" There were probably as many cops as marchers, but most were nice to us. They laughed, talked and even smiled. They were making double time for protecting us from ourselves. It was better this year, last year they were not smiling and were in riot gear. I walked from Ogden School to Daley Plaza with my mom.
She told me about taking us to our first peace demonstration when my sisters and I were kids. No Nukes!! I remember. I like being a part of a family that speaks up and says when we don't agree with something.
It is really time to speak up everybody!!!
