Russell and I went down to Ground Zero - Russell's first time - to check out the crowds and protests that were guaranteed to take place this year. I am happy to report that there were many more people out there protesting for peace and acceptance as opposed to the folks who gathered to protest the "Ground Zero Mosque," which isn't really at ground zero, and isn't really even a mosque. Instead of telling you all about the people we saw on the streets, I will just post up a few of a mixed variety of photos I took that day.

| There was a surprisingly large group or people asking for more inquires into the event |
 |
| And many people believed it was an inside job. |
 |
| The largest groups, by far, were the people protesting for peace and acceptance. |
 |
| These people were in front of Building 7, "the smoking gun," as they called it. |
 |
| Of course, there were people who were sharing their opinions about the Qur'an |
 |
| These two were in quite a shouting match: "They are building a victory mosque, just like they do everywhere they attack," said the guy in the black jacket. I interviewed him on camera, but I haven't decided if I should post it up or not, I feel kind of bad for him. |

| Death to the terrorists, hanging on the cemetery fence overlooking Ground Zero. |
 |
| This group had no agenda and said nothing - all they did was sing. And what a glorious song they sang. There were at least two groups singing around Ground Zero. I love how you can see the reflection of the Ground Zero construction site in the reflection of the building. |

| Red was the color of the day |
 |
| Even the Hudson Bay was red (due to a serious case of red tide) |
