Hallo Mike, Well, Toledo, Ohio is close enough to me to call it my neck of the woods. Oddly enough so are Detroit, Ann Arbor and Lansing, Michigan. The Nazis came to Toledo and applied for their permit and held their rally and the people who didn't like the Nazis attacked them and gave them a boatload of publicity and gave the Nazis the chance to say, "You see what those people are like? Just like we told you."
Perhaps not oddly enough I have seen "right-to-lifers" attack those backing abortion who turned around and said about the same thing the Nazis did and have seen "peace" demonstrators attack their opponents who repeated virtually the same line. The smart thing to do would be to give the Nazis their permit and allow them their little march and stay away from them and ignore them, but you have the idiot press covering them and reporting every burp or fart and stirring up people so they can get some "news", maybe even make it into the national media. I would guess that you will have the same crap there as we did here in Toledo. Ten, fifteen people marching for or against something and the press coming in and stirring up a mess because they have nothing better to do. After all, nothing much going on anywhere. :o/ Happy Happy, Gustl Friday, 14 April, 2006, 16:55:02, you wrote: MR> Since "peaceful demonstrations" have been a lively topic lately, MR> here's what's happening in my neck of the woods.
