Demonstration

Demonstrations - having a voice. Being seen. I have never really thought about that before. If I had it was about being seen to object. I had not thought about it as being seen as and as being a physical presence. Damian (at Grind) said this morning - if we demonstrate it blocks a street, if they demonstrate in London it blocks the city. And if you only block a street, he added they can easily divert traffic around it! He went on to say that he'd seen a recent episode of the ABC's Insight program where a political analyst had posited that we would never have civil war in Australia because people just aren't passionate enough.
