While driving home from work today I noticed a crowd of about 20 people waving flags.  Yes, there were a few of the red, white and blue flags that we are accustomed to seeing but the rest of the flags were red, white and green.  Some of the people were carrying signs saying such things as “New regime in Iran now” and “Honk for a free Iran”.   As I am a fun loving guy I wailed on the horn several times to express my support. 

As I passed through the intersection it occurred to me that it is nice to see people caring about what is going on outside our borders for a change and doing something that we take for granted too often which is our rights of free speech and freedom of assembly.  Additionally, it is sad to think that these people would have been arrested or beaten or something worse for doing the same thing in Iran.
