Any protest in Killen, Tx. (home of FT Hood) would consist only of myself. Even if I wore a tuxedo the unwritten law of "kill longhaired hippies" would kick in before I got to say anything. Wish I had better news to report.

He says the civil rights march on Washington worked because "There was a clear message, there was good timing and there was a good thought out presentation". He sounds like he's marketing a new laundry detergent. The one thing about the march on Washington that helped it that he fails to recognize it that a majority of Americans already agreed with the protestors. That's why these fringe protests today don't work.

Good points, and makes me realize too why the protests against the Israeli bombing of Lebanon didn't really do much, other than allow us an outlet for our frustration and shock. Canada's okay, though. Our current government will hopefully not last too long, so come if you'd like.

Gee Bill, Did you ever think Canadians might want a say in you "nutbars" moving here? So many assumptions...Maybe we'll dig up the 49'th and make it a ditch, like the one you guy's put around Bagdad. Yea you have Minute men ...We Could be "Mole People" (People cause we are non discriminatory) of course!
