1. Great!
It looks like the coverage of the peace vigil got a discussion going, too.

2. That is the important thing.
We have to keep after this until people actually get up and do something!

4. I've been to
similar events in two communities near me. The first is Norwich, in Chenengo County, NY. For quite a while, there was a anti-war rally in the West Park, and a pro-war rally in the East Park, just across the street. And there were numerous LTTE in the Norwich newspaper, questioning the patriotism of the anti-war folk. Things have changed -- I have not seen any pro-war rallies in Norwich for some time.

I also went to the Federal Courthouse in Binghamton, in Broome County, for the trial of the St. Patrick's Four. There were two groups there, again anti-war and pro-war, separated by police. I was told that for the first two days, the groups did not communicate. By the day I went, everyone was mixed together, getting along fine, and realizing that we had more in common than things that separated us. Most of the pro-war folks were primarily expressing support for the US troops, rather than support of the Cheney world view.

Public demonstrations are protecting by that Bill of Rights for a very good reason -- the Founding Fathers recognized that they play an important role in keeping a democratic state strong. I salute those Americans who continue to participate in anti-war rallies.

5. That is a great story.
Hence the term...peace negotiations, something that disappeared with the * administration. Peace, Kim

6. It is great you got good press
There are peace demonstrations happening all the time all over the country which do not get covered at all.

You got good press. Good work.

Peace.
