Hi
Was reminded of this poem last night watching the news.
Half a dozen protestors, the president in a bullet proof vest, a placard
saying "Bush is not very nice" and marksmen on the roof of a tiny primary
school.
Sometimes I think I envy cameraman who seem to be able to say so much in so
few visual images....
Hmmm.
