Man are there that many people against war? Who would have thought... does Washington know about this?

I know some old Nam-Vets, hearing them and the names they call these protesters is pretty funny, there are people who are the opposite of these protesters, but they have jobs and work so they don't have time to hold signs showing their opinions.

It makes me happy to see people exercising the rights they have.

It makes me sad that they have no idea how we have really gotten here, or whats really going on.

Such is life.

Maybe that's their band name. 5 Days To Manny.

That being said, seems like yet another instance of police overreacting. I mean, why were there so many of them there? Just let the people have their fricking protest march and move on.

It's just a joke about San Francisco. Don't take it personally. ;)

Surprisingly, yes. The Revolutionary war was not very popular among a lot of citizens. It wasn't realistic, probable, or popular, and look where we are today.

indeed. :)

although all the neo-hippies I have met, once politics come up I just wanna strangle them.. it always turns into anti-war talk and I just sit there, dumb founded and have no idea what I could say that they wouldn't spin... so I usually do what I can to change the topic. ;)
