I'm almost 54 and went to my first war protest in my life in January 03 down in DC. Froze my ass off that cold day, but so did a few hundred thousand others.*

I'd do it again in spite of the ineffectiveness, but this time in World history had the largest War Protests world wide in recorded human history!

And to this day no one in America knows it.

Amy Goodman of democracy Now compiled news analysis in the run up to Iraq. Out of about 94 major news articles, only four had any material from the anti war side. Talk about the MSM drumbeat! And your figure of 56% against the War before it started is staggering.

Remarkable how your perspective can change once you inject FACTS into the discussion. Unfortunately, facts are in short supply when so many get their information from Rush or Hannity.

Peace Out, Bro!

*(I received a draft lottery number in 1972, the year the draft was canceled. I was so goddamned lucky!!!!! I have no doubt I would not have survived if I had to serve. I'm emotionally unfit to serve in an army.)

PS - Mr. Patriot, your posts are magnificent. I yield the floor for your discourse!
