GV, <Could you please provide evidence of this negative correlation between pacifism and capitalism?> I knew someone would ding me on this. I'm not saying that all pacifists are anti-capitalists, or that you even have to protest capitalism in order to protest the war. However, I am saying that a lot of the people you find in those anti-war marches happen to be anti-capitalists. These include the people who make it their hobby to protest anything they see as the "establishment," i.e. rebels by nature. With Jim talking about "buy-n-hold" as a vast conspiracy, he might as well join those who think likewise. Tenchusatsu
