Images of demonstrations: October 26, 2002 San Francisco
It's a tall job, but somebody's gotta do it. This lady has to have been the tiredest person

It's interesting to note the festive sense of creativity with which people approach these
events. Lenin called revolution "a festival of the oppressed". Should our
list in-progress
of the purposes of political demonstrations include "to express individual
creativity"?
