Assorted Amherst


There was a gay marriage demonstration at UMass, but by the time I got there the rally was over and the protest signs trashed.





These are some pictures I didn't use in my previous Amherst 250th birthday coverage. Here are some Amherst vets.





This guy was dressed to honor the veterans of the Civil War.





The Army National Guard Band waiting to march. 





A woman dressed for the 1700's.





Kids marching for the Amherst Survival Center. 





Granville Beauty

 



Longtime Springfield troublemaker Michaelann Bewsee (above) took some nice pictures in nearby Granville recently. Frankly, this time of year it's hard not to capture great images of the magnificent New England foliage, like this scene from the Westfield River.

 



Autumn teaches us that there is beauty even in life's decline. 




 

Treasure every day of Autumn as precious.

Come back unchanged, your demons all tamed and your flowers uncut.

"Republicans immediately passed a wave of pro-business legislation that caused the economy to boom"

Are you back on drugs again? The only reason the economy boomed was because of the technological discoveries related to the internet. The conservowhacks had nothing to do with it.

Ever heard of The Contract With America? Businesses thrive in environments conducive to doing business. People like yourself Greg are now in the process of learning that lesson the hard way.

Those signs in the garbage are cute. Even after homosexuals cheated me out of my vote, they still aren't happy. "Keep your religion off of my civil rights"? Come on homos, you "won" already. You succeeded in ramming an illegimiate decision through a corrupt court, importing foreign law, and preventing the tiniest modicum of the democratic process from being carried out. Give it up.

Just this weekend I gave my state rep a piece of my mind. I told her that she took away my right to vote. I fully expected her to counter with something as stupid as "we don't vote on civil rights issues". I was prepared to rip that asanine argument to shreds. But she didn't say that. Her response was quite simple--"That's right, I did." I was shocked by her honesty. The next time someone tells me that I was not denied my right to vote, I'm going to give them my state rep's phone number. She's already told me that she did, so argue with her.

Whiny homosexuals are absolutely never happy. Even while oppressing other people, homosexuals have to bitch about how oppressed they are.
