Right now it’s about 5:40pm, and I’m watching TV where hundreds of protesters are at an impasse with hundreds of police officers, many of whom are starting to don riot gear. This isn’t happening in some country undergoing a revolution – this is happening less than a half mile from my place in Chicago. Just a few hours earlier, I attended the beginning of the march that was protesting the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATOSummit that began today with over thirty presidents and prime ministers attending. It’s been a crazy weekend here so far, but I was most surprised to see Filipino representation among the protestors.

This is what I was doing earlier today.
