I could never be a protestor
The G-20 Summit is scheduled to begin tomorrow here in town. The actual summit only lasts for 2 days but it causes chaos in the city for over a week. We’ve had protestors arriving for the past couple of weeks and more are still coming into town.
Most of them dont even have anywhere to stay. They’re staying in local parks and make-shift camps that they’ve made up. Personally, I could never sleep outside. I’ve never even been camping because I can’t imagine it. I would need to have a reservation at one of those luxury Park City hotels with a nice bathtub or better yet a jacuzzi. I need a nice firm bed and running water to take a shower and change clothes. One of my coworkers calls protestors the “unwashed masses” and that fits.
While I may support a cause, I’ll do it with letters and meetings. No camping out and marching for me.
