This was one of many shots from this week's Democratic Party convention in Philadelphia which has been, to say the least, interesting. There were marches supporting Black Lives Matter, Bernie Sanders, Anti-Fracking, Opposition to the TTP, and legalization of marijuana, among others that I probably missed. This shot was taken at a Bernie or Bust rally across from Philadelphia's City Hall. My favorite protest, though, was a counter-protest: the Westboro Baptist Church (a notorious bunch of nutjobs, who picket anything involving LGBT rights. They're also infamous for picketing military funerals) came to town to protest in front of a LGBT health center. Throw a convention, get Westboro--akin to expecting ants at a picnic. Westboro is also noted for their "God Hates Fags" picket signs. The counter protest featured signs that include: God Hates Steak That's Well-Done God Hates Broken Shoe Laces God Hates Lame Signs God Hates Potholes God Hates Stepping in Dog Doo God Hates When the Server is Down God Hates Warm Beer God Hates the Schuylkill Expressway And my favorite....

It so beautifully illustrates the USA population. Whether many of the crew like it or not! This is beginning, if not already? How the USA population is perceived by other nations? Now I know lots of you wont appreciate my comment? But really? Relax and think a little hard of the images we see here daily? Oh yes and seen by the millions if not billions of Plant Earth some what human beings? THANKYOU MR. ZUKERMAN and the other e-mail net works! cheers, Dr. Ted Grant C.M. -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Shulman Sent: July-27-16 7:05 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] PESO 07 27 16 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/focusit/DNC+TYT+sm.jpg.html M3, Summilux 50, Neopan 400 Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
