if you have not yet seen pictures of the "free speech zone" set up for the democratic national convention, you must check out indymedia.com -- there's all kinds of pictures on the boston page.

if you haven't heard of this, let me fill you in. protesters were *supposed to* use the "free speech zone" -- a fenced-in cage with razorwire at the top and a sniper in case you decided to crawl through the razor wire. or if you were a black man. luckily amadou wasn't there that day.

a goddamn "free speech zone"

and they have the nerve to call it that

what, my dear friends, have we gotten outselves into?
