2. I don't believe there was one on 9/11 and yes I was a little bit upset
over there being two national marches on Washington within two weeks of each other. I was of the belief that it would be mostly counterproductive because most people can't attend two marches in Washington in such a short period of time and instead of having one larger march there would just be several smaller ones. However, despite calls for one unified march by all of the major groups (including UFPJ instead of their regional demonstrations) it didn't happen.

4. No, I knew what you were referencing (the general strike), but I don't
believe there was any march on Washington as part of it. I could be wrong though, and if so will be the first to admit.

6. If we want the MSM to pay attention, we'll have to start marching naked.
And maybe we can get OJ and the Runaway Bride and the corpse of Anna Nicole Smith to march along with us. THEN, by God, we'd get some press!

But marching naked is a good start, all by itself.

8. Yet, they could not get enough of the Jena march. Why do
you suppose that is?
