Eyewitness report on yesterday's event

You KNOW which event. Read this column by Kevin at Hillbuzz, who was sent to DC through the help of donations from Hillbuzz readers. Kevin is an important and distinctive voice. We need to listen to him:

I keep coming back to what’s the most awesome thing I saw yesterday:  and it was the simple fact that scores of rally attendees brought GARBAGE BAGS with them, along with all their coolers and bags of goodies, so that they could not only make sure they took out all the trash they created that day, but also had EXTRA garbage bags to make sure that NO ONE AROUND THEM made a mess, either. 
This, of course, is in stark contrast to the way Obama supporters left the National Mall after his Inauguration, where they turned the Capital into the set of a post-apocalyptic, Mad Max-styled, WALL-E distopia.  I will never in my life forget that image of the Obama cultist in a wheelchair, surrounded by mounds of trash, with tumble weeds of garbage, in a sea of refuse and chaos, with the Smithsonian Castle behind her in the distance.  On his first day in office, his followers created an indelibly prescient image of what his presidency would be, and what it would do to this country.  Obama’s supporters showed their true colors that day, with the filth they left behind them after they assembled to celebrate their Lightbringer.
