Snow and ICE

 .

Sunday, I went to an ICE Out protest on the grounds of Cathedral Village. Which is an old age home on what once almost became the grounds of the United Nations (long story; I'll tell it another time), facing Ridge Avenue, which was once an important Leni Lenapi trail to the Delaware River. There's a lot of history in my part of the world.

It was snowing, and bitter cold, and there were around 150 people present. A good quarter of them were waving American flags. Sharik Kahn, our state rep, showed up to say a few words, and was wise enough not to try to hijack the event for his benefit.

Last autumn, I came to the exact same place for a No Kings protest. Same people, similar signs, A goodly number of motorists driving by honked their horns in support. A few flipped the finger.

This time, however, nobody flipped the bird. And a lot honked their support. When the traffic flowed, the honking was almost nonstop. Far more than in the previous protest.

From which I conclude one thing: A lot of people (incorrectly, in my opinion) think that once we elect a president, we have to put up with whatever he does.

But most Americans, even today, disapprove of murder.
