On a lighter note, maybe we can all march to the beat of the same drum

A couple weeks ago, there was this funny situation on the streets of DC. On my way to the metro after work, I passed these protesters who were marching, and pounding on drums and wearing block signs, hanging on their shoulders to cover their front and back. They were protesting a company that didn't pay fair wages and so in front of their building. They were chanting something, but I’m not sure exactly what they were saying. 

In any case, the second day, there happened to be some special deal at the bank that happened to be next door to that office. So right next to each other we had two groups of people with opposite situations, and yet, the guy trying to get positive attention for the bank was dancing to the rhythm of the protestors’ drums. It was hilarious.
