Is this quote american or what! :)

"I see nothing against protesting for what you believe in as long as you stay off my lawn." (this was the last sentence in the following article)

Protesters Rally Against Bush In Portland

-snip-

There were no massive confrontations with the scores of black-clad police from six agencies in riot gear, a marked difference from Bush's visit to Portland last year to raise campaign money for Oregon's Republican Sen. Gordon Smith

-snip-

Several nearby residents took advantage of the protest to make a little money.

Delores Carlson sold ice cream bars and Creamsicles for $1 each.

University of Portland students sold water and beer from their front lawn as they watched the protest.

The water sold for $2, while beer sold for $4 or $5 - depending on whether it was an American or Canadian brand.

"We've made a killing, pretty much," said Riley Shephard, 20, a business student. "I see nothing against protesting for what you believe in as long as you stay off my lawn."

Go Portland.
