1. we never know......I hope it's huge and peacefull.
One of the biggest turn outs in L.A. was in a cold soaking rain storm.No matter how many people show up the media calls it 1/20 the amount all the way to Fux who says a dozen whiners showd up then show a clip of some dweeb with a 1976 punk outfit on and the spike gel hair. So many people are burned out from working so hard and getting screwd again.You have to love those people who show up everywhere and keep the spirit up.

2. I'm hoping
that most colleges and schools throughout the nation suffer from a major walkout. All moderate and liberal students walkout to protest the boyking. But I won't hold my breath for it.

4. Throwing eggs at the motorcade? Id be careful
That could get you arrested, and for something more than a simple misdemeanor.

5. Well the news will not show it, I bet.
I watched CNN and C-span last time and they sure were different.

7. Damn, that site makes me cry.
Why is it that all religions--especially the Abrahamic ones--tend to get ruined by dogmatic fundamentalist zealots?

Half Answer: The Abrahamic religions--Judaism, Christianity and Islam--all have a form of the rather barbaric Old Testament. How anyone could consider the genocide described therein to be "holy" is beyond me, but they do!!!

I had a JW tell me that those people deserved to die down to the last child. Why are we so surprised, then, that modern versions of religions who hold the Old Testament as sacred have no problem destroying the Iraqis.

Our own little West Bank...Jesus would slap the shit out of Gee-Dub.

8. It will be huge! But will get little corporate media coverage...

What coverage there will be...will be belittled and unfortunately expected.

It will be well documented though and hopefully will filter through to the mainstream.

9. They are trying to intimidate people away.
I'm sure they will beat protesters and arrest otherwise peaceful people.
