In Catalonia’s independence vote, students want their say

BARCELONA — In a mass demonstration of youth and enthusiasm, thousands of students marched down the Gran Via here Thursday afternoon, presenting the well-scrubbed face of a separatist movement hoping to sever the Catalonia region from Spain.

The rally, the largest in recent memory, featured throngs of university and high school students draped in Catalan flags and protected by cadres of sympathetic firefighters in yellow helmets.

The young people took selfies, smoked a little marijuana and plastered signposts with posters featuring cartoon characters.

The atmosphere was festive, raucous, contagious — with folk songs from a generation ago. When elderly supporters came out on their balconies to bang pots and pans in support, the students stopped to honor them with chants: “No revolutions without the grandmothers!”

But the situation is growing serious.

Louise Mensch reported months ago that the Russians helped fuel riots in Ferguson with online propaganda as well. They've been sowing hate and division in our country for a while now. It really makes me wonder how many in congress are compromised and complicit.

I commend you in your foresight of this outcome. However I'm disappointed in others that let their egos stand in their way of realizing the very real possibility of a modern Holocaust.

last weekend trump was obsessed with nfl from bedminster nj golf club..this weekend he points to one compliment from PR mayor a week ago from bedminster nj golf club..then reminds them how much they owe..oh wait! i think he just tweeted that the female mayor is 'garbage'..wanting 'everything done for them'.

bravo you fuck!

7 days is the threshold for no water in your body..your organs start shut down and feed off each other for the protein to keep the body alive- self cannibalization.
