Dateline: Barrington, RI

Thought for the day while trying to get MOS’s ("man on the street" interviews)….

How come when I don’t have a camera with me all any stranger wants to talk to me about is politics… And when I’m with a camera soliciting their views all of a sudden no one wants to share their thoughts til they get better informed?

ANYway, we interviewed Chafee and Laffey today. Should be a good spot…maybe for tomorrow…

It’s for the same reason that people you want to photograph (especially kids) are always doing something interesting UNTIL you take out the camera, when all such activity stops and doesn’t resume until the camera is tucked away.

As a “woman on the street” I always have an opinion. For instance I am tired of GOPers like Ms. Harris thinking only conservative Republicans are christians. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. If Jesus came down to earth and joined a political party, which of course he would not, it would definitely not be the GOP. He beleived in helping those less fortunate. He beleived in love rather it be for your friends or your enemies. I jsut don’t feel the Love with the GOP!
