It is obvious that the protesters are unhappy with the economy, the lack of jobs, and corporate greed. It’s a good thing for people to protest when they think something in this country need fixing.

Our costumes were simple – a sheet for a ghost, a homemade paper crown with a dress for a princess, or even one of those awful preformed plastic masks with eye holes that one could barely see out.
