An Ode to Downtown Portland

Today's the reason I love Portland.

I was driving downtown (coffee in my hand, Abby in my back seat, and therefore High School Musical 2 blasting) and there was a stream of protesters with signs, "Scientology is a Scam!"

Regardless if you agree with the statement or not, I love Portland for inhabiting so many people who feel free to protest in the streets- usually on Fridays (awesome way to end the week.)

Granted, if the signs said, "Bush is the Messiah" I probably would not have honked and smiled. Instead I'm sure I'd have an aneurism and cause an accident, but who cares- freedom to say and feel whatever you please.
