Time's Person of the Year
"The Protester" what do you think? If you don't agree, who would you put on this issue's cover?
Willa 4.6.06 and Henry 10.18.08

Re: Time's Person of the Year
I agree with the choice in a way, but part of me wishes they'd stick to picking an actual person. I know they've done groups a few times, but it seems like they've done it a lot recently.
I just looked up on Wiki and it looks like we had:
Whistleblowers (2002)
American Soldier (2003)
You (2006) - Worst one ever.
Protestors (2011)
So they've definitely gone to groups more in the past decade, and I prefer to have a person but see the importance of each of these.
This was my thought as well.
I would be interested to read this cover story and see how Occupy Wall Street is discussed.
I think that when they started naming groups as a "person" it made the job easier for them. Juli, I agree with you on the single person thing.
But wow, the power of a group of people standing up for what they believe in has changed the world this year. Maybe not as much in our little country... Occupy protesters seem to be a part of the article, too.
What?... Who are the Aquinas protesters? Not part of Occupy Grand Rapids?
Oh no - not Occupy Grand Rapids. There are 2-3 people holding up a "Shame on Aquinas" sign. Union issues, I believe, but I don't know the specifics. They have been protesting for the past 2 years
Same people who have, in the past protested various hospitals in the area and the arena. The "special" thing about the Aquinas protesters is that I caught them ogling a young woman while standing for justice.
Ah, yes. They were in front of the Amway Hotel yesterday.
Honestly? I think it's weak and lame. Do I have a better suggestion? No. But I'm not getting paid to publish a magazine either.
