The Anti-RNC protests are a definitive moment, like Woodstock.
The anti-RNC protests going on in New York now are a definitive moment for an era and a new generation of political activists, like Woodstock or the 1967 anti-Vietnam-War march on the Pentagon immortalized by Norman Mailer's "The Armies of The Night". This is the signiture of an era we will all be living through for the next several years. This is it. This is our Time.

1. Thanks
I like this:

As they marched on Sunday, Vietnam veteran George McAnanama led them in cadence:

Bush and Cheney talk that talk

But we know they're chicken hawks.

If they think they're so damn right

Let these rich boys go and fight.
