Why, yes, I have. In fact, Guilty as charged. And as a long time Washingtonian, allow me to wax eloquent on the one distinguishing feature of Tea Party Rallies in DC, as opposed to other political rallies in DC.
- We pick up our trash. In fact, the place is usually CLEANER after we’ve been through: we pick up OTHERs trash, and carry trash bags with us.
- No random destruction during/after the rally. This happens quite a bit when protests against the World Bank/IMF/etc are in town, and most of the other left-of-center rallies leave everything: trash receptacles, light poles, Metro stations, covered in their stickers.
But do NOT take my word on it, look for photos. I’ve conveniently linked a comparison. . .
