If 3 million people protested the war, there were 5.97 Billion that actively did not :-)

Many of 'em didn't even know what they were protesting- a high school kid who works for me came in today saying he and his friends went so they had an excuse to get out of school. I seriously hope these guys were marked for an unexcused absence. Going to a protest isn't a reason to miss school (unless your school admins wish they were there too). Brian

Z, <a high school kid who works for me came in today saying he and his friends went so they had an excuse to get out of school.> That sounds about right. During my senior year in high school, students walked out of classes supposedly to protest local budget cuts. Of course, the walkout turned into a fiasco because they failed to get a coherent message out. Everyone just wanted an excuse to skip class. At least we made it onto the newspaper. I don't remember if the walkout accomplished anything more than that. Tenchusatsu
