<<Seriously, the protestors do sound like retreads of the '60's. Too many boomers remember those days and make the connection>>

At the SF march, there was a pretty even distribution of all ages. From "Raging Grannies of Sonoma County" to several youth groups. I'd guess about 40% were under 35. Not at all a baby boomer dominated event.

Estimates for the size of the SF rally range from 55,000 to 200,000 people. My guess is somewhere close to 100,000.

20,000 marchers in DC today... In a country of 270,000,000.

"burgeoning", "vital", "impressive"

WOW!
