More Human Beings
The other day I was walking to lunch past Atlanta City Hall. There was a lady on the corner talking on a cell phone. But she was talking very, very loud and was pretty perturbed about something but mostly just loud. It was odd enough to notice, but not really think much about. After we ate lunch we came back the same way. This was at least 30 minutes later. The lady was still on the cell phone and yelling. At no time was she apparently ever listening. As we walked by she got louder and it sounded like she was sort of addressing us. I think what she was doing was staging some kind of protest (there have been a lot lately with the Georgia legislature in session; one day the gay rights group faced off against the family groups that are against gay marriage) but she didn't have a permit to do the protest. So she brought a cell phone and was just yelling to everyone. Then if anyone questioned her she could say she was just talking to someone on the phone, there are no laws against that.

This is a very good posting. An observation from a day-in-the-life I.T.P. (inside the perimeter.) I do wonder about the title. "More Human Beings." Perhaps this is the start of a series about human beings. Look forward to reading more in this series.

Actually I called it More Human Beings because I posted a similar entry called Human Beings last year.

Yes. I agree with Brother Jeb. Very interesting posting. Just what we're looking for on this web site.
