Do you think that seeing the incredible demonstrations in New York
city cause more people to get actively involved? Do you think that maybe, like during Viet Nam, once the protests start they will spread?
I hope so. Maybe this is the catalyst to bringing down the BFEE and open up the debate into the reasons behind 'Shock and Awe'.

1. It could.
Sometimes when people see that a bandwagon actually seems to be going somewhere, they are more likely to get on it. Seeing something this huge is going to get people more fired up, IMHO. I hope there are lots more of these, huge ones, everywhere, like in the '60s. I went to some of those..

3. Flashing back on the coronation 01/20/01 and
how the media tried to downplay the thousands upon thousands of protestors on that gloomy, dark day.

I'm watching C-SPAN. Over 2 1/2 hours now. Don't see how they can hide this!
