I am writing to express my disgust with the organizers and participants in the State College Anti-Inaugural Ball.

I cannot believe that Barbara Ballenger had the audacity to actually carry through with the absurd idea of protesting the president's inauguration, not to mention being "pleasantly surprised" that her gathering attracted a pathetic 35 people. Why can't you people understand that the election is over? I didn't even vote for George Bush, but I am not going to stand around outside of the Allen Street Gates to have some pointless demonstration against Bush's inauguration. Get a life and stop complaining because no one wants to hear your useless whining.
