Subject: RE: BS: World Wide Peace Protest
Please don't misunderstand me, number 6... I'm not in any way diminishing Dr. King's contributions to the world and to humanity. But I am suggesting that not all problems are nails and not all solutions are hammers.

katlaughing, I lived in the Washington DC area during all of the big Vietnam War era protests that took place there. Out in the suburbs where we lived, just a few miles away, we didnt't see any sign of those protests unless we attended them ourselves, or we saw them on the news.

I think the media can ignore it for as long as they want to, and they probably will. But I'm not saying people shouldn't march. Marching is a good thing to do. But I don't think it will accomplish much. There is so much more that we need to do.
