Protesting the Olympic Torch

I hope that they change the route of the Olympic Torch to run down Hyde Street. They could go past Post Street all the way to SF Civic Center, right past the Asian Art Museum to highlight China's hosting the Olympic Games. They'd see people crouching in-between cars, smoking crack and taking dumps. They'd also see people wearing dingy clothes like it wasn't a big deal, soiled in their own filth, dark and stained in the all the wrong places. These guys and gals wake up, look for their day's fix, gather in small TL apartments and get high. "Functioning addicts" is what the newscasters would call them as the torch passed by the $2 Pabst Specials at the Nite Cap.

However, As I'm writing this, the SF torch route has changed and now it's on Bush and Van Ness. Right by my house! Maybe I should go. Hmmm...
