Where are the priorities of this city?! Who cares about a parade when all of your worldly possessions have been brisked away?!<BR/><BR/>I guess that suffering people being forced to take a backseat to partying has something to do with that "tradition" you're taking about, huh?Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018331496569382238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-1141075600074088892006-02-27T16:26:00.000-05:002006-02-27T16:26:00.000-05:00I don't know what the big uproar is about.
