I had this perception that there was still popular support for Erap even then, and that he wasn't being appropriated due process. But of course I didn't have those particular words in mind, but yes, even if everyone in my academic community (bilang isang first year high school student in a private school) were going there, I didn't feel compelled because it was a common sentiment in the household. I didn't feel compelled because I don't think that what Erap did was tantamount to the pain and suffering that happened during Martial Law. Which leads me to agree with aajao, that there's really something wrong with the way we perceive democracy. Argh. I don’t know, EDSA Dos for me was particularly elitist.
