America. Is. Too. OBEDIENT.

41. You'll see huge crowds soon.

When President Obama goes out on the campaign trail in earnest, you'll see huge crowds turning out to support him. Then, when he wins, you'll see another enormous crowd turn out for his inauguration.

As someone who was heavily involved in the protests of the 60s, from civil rights to anti-war, I can tell you that most of them were small. It was rare when they were huge, but those are the ones we remember, not the small ones. There was a large crowd in 1965 in Selma and Birmingham. I remember it, because I was part of that crowd. There were huge crowds at the 1968 convention. I wasn't there, because I was in the USAF at the time. There were big crowds at the pentagon protests, too. I was in those crowds.

There were also many, many smaller protests - protests that turned out a few dozen at most. I was at many of those.

The huge crowds you'll see in 2012, though, will be in support of President Obama. Those crowds will outnumber almost all of the Occupy protests that may occur.
