Yeah, but I, too, was "demonstrating in the streets" by having my ass at the office the first day the market reopened and G let civies back into the area where my office is, a few blocks away. Not much work was getting done other than calling clients and letting them know we were alive and had electricity, and finding out if they were alive and had electricity, and there was much drinking at lunch and at 5 pm sharp (though as I recall, you and I and some other GA hangers-on had a pretty tough time even finding a bar that was OPEN down here in which to get drunk that first day NYC was open below Canal street). But New Yorkers, too, took to the streets right in the destruction zone to shout out to the world press, by coming into work in unbreathable air: fuck the terrorists, the world financial system will go on.
