The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is not the time to simply thumbs up posts on FB. Get out there and take action.

Absolutely!

Yesterday Ms. Wolf and I went to our second protest this year, this time in Canandaigua, NY. Canandaigua is a beautiful small city (Pop. around 10,000). The protest was at the intersection of Main St. and Routes 5 & 20, so there was lots of traffic.

I’m estimating between 500 and a 1,000. Hard to say because I couldn’t see everyone as it was spread out. It’s a large intersection. Lots of waving, honking, and thumbs up’s. Of course, we had the occasional thumbs down and the middle finger salute. I just blew back kisses or gave them the peace sign.

I also saw the funniest sign I’ve seen so far. The woman and I exchanged pictures of our signs and I told her I was stealing her sign for the next protest.

One of the highlights was watching a large pick up truck (in the left lane) tailgating (and I mean tailgating) someone waving at the signs. As soon as he could, the truck gunned his engine, cut off another car in the right lane, and raced down 5 & 20. Within seconds, another car was on his tail and all of a sudden the lights were flashing. Yep, an unmarked police car. Loved it.

We love going to protests, which are among our many forms of resistance.
