This is what Democracy looks like
Edited on Tue Sep-16-03 08:41 PM by NaMeaHou
"A HISTORIC exercise in democracy took place last week when more than 1,200 people gathered outside Faneuil Hall to speak out in defense of the Bill of Rights while US Attorney General John Ashcroft delivered a closed-to-the-public speech to some 150 law enforcement officials who were locked inside the hall. While the meeting went on inside, people who were locked out chanted: "This is what democracy looks like."

2. The best thing is the title: "Ashcroft bars the doors to democracy."
OOOOOoooo, they're losing the press.
