"JUST WORDS" ???......Power to the People

I wish we could all get together. I used to love those massive crowds. War demonstrations in the '60's, music concerts, I missed Woodstock, but you know what I mean. Only now I can't even stand a crowd in a movie theater. I will only go to very early matinees on weekdays. I have ceased to like the behavior of my fellow humans, but I might learn to love us again.

me2....that would be cool...I used to also love crowds..and concerts too...now I am not so sure...but I do confess I stood in line in feb- yes for hours to see Obama back in Feb23( and yeah I blogged it)....with my teenage son 6-6 and it was about 10 degrees...windy.....snowy and icy ...and thousands in line....but it was an amazing experience...so many people and stories of the last 8 years...and I realized that after 911 we many of us stopped gathering and talking and sharing.....and in my lifetime I have to say that experience was one of the best I have ever had....better than any concert ever...( and disrespect to the Stones, the Boss, Genisis or Peter Gabriel...) it was different...there was and is a Bonding at those rallies....and a Dialogue....even when Obama speaks- there is an intensity..and truth..when he talked about the War and the Constitution the crowd went wild- people were on their feet yelling back to him...it was amazing...

okay I have rambled enough....thanks Utah...

I would love the chance to hear him speak in person!

Enigma, I am tagging you with UT Savage's meme. No obligation. Stop by & read my responses. I had fun with it. Helped pass the time until tomorrow's primaries.

oh darn...see here was the plan...if I very nicey complimented all of you and said Good Job and very interesting...etc..I would get out of it....hmmm, this is payback because I brought up the Chair and Martial arts photo......okay...that is fair..doesn't look that bad....and you are right it will pass time...

DK...I forgot- did he ever speak near you all ?? maybe this summer- you all are a red state- I bet he will...

No, but Michelle was in SLC In Feb. If I want to brave Las Vegas, I'm sure I'll get to see him down there once the general election campaign starts because NV is a swing state. UT is not in play, so I doubt very much we'll see him here. Problem with going to vegas is, well, it is too horrible.

ps, I didn't use the kung-fu pics. They didn't seem to fit this meme. Don't worry, you haven't seen the last of them; I'll find a place to re-use them sometime!

I hope you get to see him- the rallies are also a great way to meet other folks and see and hear why they support him..everybody has a story...so cool...yeah, I know Vegas sucks..so sorry ( I only went through Nevada once..that was enough..plenty..it s not my kind of thing there - I understand..)
