A Good Day To Protest

My wife and I joined the protest march on the White House against the war in Iraq this past Saturday. It was fantastic. 100,000 people attended, according to DC police chief Ramsey.

Sure the going was slow - we moved only 3 blocks in 3 hours. But the point wasn't so much to cover ground as to be heard.

Some of my favorite signs were...

• Make Levees Not War


• The Rapture Is Not An Exit Strategy


• Who Would Jesus Bomb? (I carried this one)


• These Colors Don't Run... The World

It reminded me of the old days a lot, except I saw no drugs. People weren't there to party - the atmosphere was much more serious.

Hopefully we'll see more of these, until the need for them goes away.
