Another March Photo

This picture was taken at the march on Saturday. The estimated numbers on the event, by the way, are ranging from 5,000 to 12,000. Bloomington, IN managed about 100 on Monday. I seem to recall better numbers in 1991, but I think the typical "turn out for a march" lefty/progressive is feeling much more disoriented this time around: Iraq and terrorism have, in the last few months, been effectively linked.

Watching the news tonight, the post- Bush speech man on the street bit has someone at the airport telling us he thinks Bush made some good points and that he's glad we might be able to stop a "dirty bomb" if we go to war.
