Annals Of Photo Interpretation

Something or another from The Times of New York, in which five people are asked: "Is this a typical third-party movement? Are mainstream parties ever able to co-opt third-party messages and members?"

We needn't even read the responses. we need only examine the photograph from The Times.
Let's see: People under 30? Yes, two of them (lower left) under duress. Possibly one or two others in the crowd.

Non-Anglo participants? Hard to be sure, could be some Hispanic or Asian people in the crowd. Certainly isn't anyone of a more recent African heritage visible to these tired old eyes.

This is not the movement of the future, although it is quite a movement.

Three items up. It's getting hard to keep track, between the volume of poop we're currently extruding & the fact that everyone's wandering the web pretty much on auto (Or senile, if you prefer.) & what, really, is the difference between the "publish your comment" box & the "X in the little red box" that will make the larger, irritating box go away?

Y'know?

Nor will you remember or care how crappy your pants are. (We sure don't.)
