Not only that, Barry, but if protesters had been beaten or maced it would have made the news. There are people who like nothing better than that.

For the record, I really admire you for making the effort and going, Barry. If I were in a reasonable distance, I would like to think I would go but I never have.

Dickey, stuff happens, doesn't it. I am sorry - very - that there are parents like that; is unforgivable and it cannot help but color one's spirit. May I add, however, that your father's actions in the past are no excuse for your actions today. It is up to us - no one else - to see and understand clearly and to vow that we will not be that kind of person.
