I'll be out of town, unfortunately. There's a big match this weekend.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Does anyone offhand know what the "rules" are (or where to find them) for demonstrating at the capitol?

Civil disobedience, by definition, has no rules

Yeah. well... thanks for the update from the cheap seats. Not only is that utterly wrong as to what civil disobedience is, I have seen no proposal at all for any civil disobedience. Protests at the capitol are petitions of the people for redress of grievances, and are absolutely WITHIN the law, so long as the applicable laws and rules are followed.

Sarcasm is just lost on you crotchety old guys....

There is a major difference between sarcasm and plainly wrong information, not to mention the whole lack of visible or audible hints of nuance in electronic communications.
On this I must adhere to an old maxim of my clan: "Say what you mean. Mean what you say. And, FUCK 'EM if they can't take a joke.
The problem with what you said was that if that's what you meant, it ain't what you said. I can only go by what you said... not by what you meant. Communication takes two or more people. It's not locked inside one skull and it doesn't get from one to two or more if it isn't said in a comprehensible manner in the first place.
Comprendo?
