>>>As a side note - I would like to point out there is no 'rent a mob' - it's another fake story circulating around. http://www.snopes.com/anti-trump-protesters-bused-into-austin/ - which is why all of the news agencies are saying there is no rent-a-mob. It's just another baseless rumor.

>Thanks for this. I'm not interested in bovver boys anyway, though it's a shame if decent people protest for a week and nobody tries to start the healing process by pointing to common ground. Maybe Trump's team will show their qualities this week.

True. I'm hoping that the protests actually do some good and that the Trump administration listens to the people and doesn't continue on with the racist, etc... rhetoric that was part of the campaign. I have to admit though that I'm somewhat skeptical based upon his life-long history. Generally speaking becoming a president/leader doesn't change a person, it just expands and exposes who that person really is. But thus far I'm not overly impressed - the guy appointed a climate change denier to head the EPA - so it's a sad time for plants and animals. Not off to a good start.
