LOL! You owe me a keyboard and screen.

It's curious that you apparently know what I will witness at some
point in the future. But it's not surprising that you hold such an
opinion of your powers.

You will see exactly what you want to see. If you are honest then you
will see the truth but most people are not honest, they are biased and
they will see the side that they want to see and ignore everything
else.

Early on I found that expectations ruined a lot of things, so I try
not to have too many of them. I try to stay open and take it as it
comes. I have my opinions, but I am aware of my biases and try not to
let them shrink my world down to a reflex reaction.


Same here. We ended up there by accident. We were looking for a fish
taco place we heard about and without even thinking about the activities
down there walked right into it.

I thought your observations were accurate and unbiased.


As far as seeing exactly what I want(ed) to see - I had no
expectations. I don't watch TV news and hadn't seen anything about
the people in the park. Most of my news comes from Google's nifty
"and xxx stories like it" link. If I'm interested in something, I
don't just read one article, and not just from one country. There's
no such thing as perfect information, and all reporting has its
biases, but getting information from a lot of disparate places helps
cancel out the noise.

Did you read my post about what I saw? Do you feel it's biased or
fairly straightforward without projecting a prejudice? Granted, I was
only there for an hour, so I suppose that the people in the park could
have turned into unruly wildebeests and started attacking people, but
at least for the time I was there, they were pretty much just a crowd
of people like you'd see at any street fair. If you didn't read the
signs, you would have figured you stumbled onto one.
