============================================================
The estimates are saying that there where 30,000+ when the protests where merely peacefull, that is a large number. Consider this is during the middle of the week, people have children to feed. You as a mother know this takes first priority over everything. Get down to it, like I said before, the people of the city of seatle are a progressive lot that vote and are very well informed for american citizens(if that means anything at all)on politics(a generality). There will be no confusion at the ballot boxes In next years elections, that is, of course, if we are still free to vote. Think this is chaos is bad, wait to see what happens if anything goes wrong with Y2k. Mass hysteria, and the iron fist shall grash down upon us. enough rambling, I am tired, I need to sleep soon.

Love,
Steve
