This, I would like to go to. I might go to. Will it really do anything though? Just like the general strike thing and all the other marches. I hope so, I really hope it can, but it's all really disheartening, which plays right into the other side's hands.

If we could just infiltrate the smooth jazz community with activism, the way Simply Red and The Style Council did during the Thatcher years, this war would be over in two weeks.

I hate when people say this. If everyone who felt passionately about this topic went out collectively and let everyone else know how they felt, a statement would be made. or everyone can sit around, watch reruns of "what not to wear" or "mythbusters" this Saturday and complain that they don't have a voice.

I don't hate it when people say this, becuase it is a legitimate concern, and, well, because I said it. I will most likely be out there, as it's one of the few things left to possibly do, seeing as the cards are stacked against us. It's just that, will our voices be heard, even doing this? Are demonstrations organized in a way that will actually capture the rest of the public's minds? Will the media treat us all like a bunch of stoned hippies?

I'm glad to see you're enraged reaction though, I was hoping for people to contradict my pessimism.

nothing for DC?

Atlanta loves war!

Why would you want to end the war?

10,000 made it out in Chicago.
