Subject: RE: BS: World Wide Peace Protest
Yes, it was poorly promoted... Part of the problem is that the media still ain't up to the task of doing much reporting of anti-war stuff... The same was true in the mad-dash-to-Iraq days... The media stonewalled the anit-war movnment... Hey, the media is in Bush's hip pocket and they aren't going to change...

But ANSWER didn't get the demonstratins promoted outside of the inner cities where the protests occured... Why??? Probably a lack of funds... A lot of folks just aren't contributing to ANSWER and other peace organizations because they have just become hardened to the fact that we don't have a government that could give a danged if 10 million folks showed up in DC... No, this government has figgured out that it has the people beaten down and knows that if they throw enough corporate money into smoke-screen advertising every couple years that with that, their Christain Right puppets and a few rednecks that actaully vote that they will win and win and win...

But foer those of you, Dougie included, hope yer enjoying the "shock and awe"....
