exact mid-point of 8 dark years: 1.20.05

Almost 5 years later, I found the tape I recorded on at the 2005 Presidential coronation. Looking back, it's interesting to note the palpable anger and division in the streets at the exact mid-point of a very dark 8 years. Similar to the 2001 Presidential Inauguration, few news sources reported on the widespread protests in the streets or the extreme police state created to usher in another reign of error for dubya.
