Hi Mike,
I can feel what you were trough. The pain of knowing
you have the right, that justice is on your_side, but power is on
the side of the guys who are supposed to protect your rights...
it's hard to think rationally. I guess you could have noted down
their numbers at least (DO the cops in USA have numbers at least? God knows
now in all the "more security, just more security, damn the rights"
atmosphere). Although with your resident status, I guess you were
better to be silent, even though it's sad.
It's ugly how the "powers that are" abuse human tragedy (the 9/11
events) to only gain more power, it's cynical and ugly.
MI> anyhow, if any of you guys is in boston and likes industrial pics -- that's
MI> one great place to shoot. assuming you are just a bit more careful.
BTW, what's so controversial about the construction site as somebody noted few
posts earlier? I would have gone there but I am a bit away (10 000
km <g>)
Good light,
Frantisek Vlcek
