After Seattle

"Your body just tingled with hope, to be around so many people so committed to making a better world."

I loved this quote from the reading "After Seattle." The reading portrays the exhilaration that comes with standing up for something you believe. The reading also defines politics as they are intended to be, the people's voice. I thoroughly enjoyed the point made in politics being largely consumerism in which people rode around waving American flags from the back of pickups. I like how there is no trace of shame in Beck's arguments and personal beliefs. Her passion portrayed within the reading is obvious and intellectual. The reading makes her sound both smart, as well as personable- something that is worth being noted and appreciated.
