today i feel old and useless.
at noon i went to a protest in front of the us-embassy.
pick-nick for peace
there this young aggressive activist acused me of being an undercover cop.
he took out a camera and held it out towards me, pointing it at me like it was some kind of a weapon.
he pushed it right into my face and took a picture of me.
when i asked him, why he did this, he answered he did not speak with pigs like me …
he said he is going to publish the photo in the internet.
outch.
i can’t really explain why this hurt me an awful lot.
i guess it just really hit home the fact, that i am an old man now – the enemy to some, simply because of the way i look and dress.
yet i dont feel like digging out my leather jacket or growing a mohak in order to appear more credible to them.
and i would love to able to participate in a protest without getting wrongly accused.
missie tod has been to the anti-war demonstration in berne last saturday.
after about half an hour of peaceful marching under blue sky & colourful flags a girl shouted “neo nazi tussi” @ me because of my leather boots…
narrow social elitism sucks. be it rightish or leftish.
feeling *blah!*

… what i actually wanted to say is:
if you look like a cop then i look like eva braun!
no way? and how did you react to this verbal attack, dear missie w+?
this kind of aggression is the sad result of people feeling incredibly angry and completely powerless.
but how dare they misdirect it so blatently?
faut les corriger …
i have been staring at mirrors excessively since yesterday trying to figure out a way to make myself look less cop-like. after long pondering i decided that i ll grow a jesus-style beard. that ll work!
or maybe i could work it with smell? or rip my clothes?

i shot her (… with my Canon EOS 500 N)!
