May 1st boycott - Page 2

Seattle's protest march is supposed to go past my school right about the time I'm supposed to arrive there to take my final tonight. If people do go march, I home they don't join up until it hits downtown.

Ah, I'm all caught up now. Thanks.

And surely every station that carries COPS can't be pre-empted. Don't they show that on about 9 stations. Give it a half hour and you should be back in business.

Is this an immigrant thing?

I got negative mojo for my stance against the protest and the fact that I'm going to spend money specifically today to help counteract it (in the OP).

Why is that worthy of negative mojo?

They are protesting. I am countering the protest. So it's OK to protest but not to counter protest?

Wow...! So negative mojo is now being given when one disagrees with someone else's politics?
Sad. Very sad.

Mild admin nudge: Please keep this on topic. This thread is not about mojo.

Spokane is eerily devoid of any sort of anything. In other words, today is just like any other day!

(No protests to speak of, and all businesses are open that would normally be, so far that I know).

Why is it ok to strike, but not ok to cross a picket line?

I have a question that came up somewhere else, and I can't for the life of me sort out the answers, and maybe I'm remembering it all wrong, so I'm hoping some of our legal gurus can come in and clear up some matters for me..

Here's what I remember from my very basic classes in US Gov't. If someone from CountryX comes to the United States, say, vacationing, they are then protected by the Bill of Rights (etc etc etc). If someone is here from CountryX in a more "illegal" manner, are they still protected by the Bill of Rights?

I will assume for the sake of assumption, and not derailment into Iraqi Prisoners, etc... that in this example Person 1 and Person 2 will not be subjected to cruel or unusual punishment, something supposedly guaranteed by the BoR...

Anyhow, I hope my confusion is understood by someone and that the answer will reveal itself so that I may... not be confused, or something.

Help!

My report: At my 95% hispanic school (probably 70% first generation immigrant parents) about 5 kids from each class were absent today. That's a lot of kids.

My point of view: Boycotting work or not shopping are fine by me, but who do you hurt when you take your kid out of school?
