Some of the sweetest people I know have been demonstrating.  Cousins, students, grammar school kids – regular people.  And they have been getting spat on, sworn at, knocked over by horses, and even arrested.  No wonder they’re all in hysterics.

I don’t even know how they can be normalized again.  It’s like we’re all in a battle, and even if we win the battle, we’ll be crazy.  

And will they ever be able to be friends again with those who accosted them?

In the meantime, our prime minister is going on vacation for week ends, and the cost to us of three-quarters of a million dollars.  You could give all those demonstrators a cruise for that money.
