Subject: RE: BS: MILLIONS MARCHING FOR PEACE!
I think your assessment of the personality types is hysterical, Troll. There are all kinds of people on both sides -- but to say that someone who protests is the kind of person who just goes along with a crowd is illogical if they are considered to be in the minority, right?

Particularly considering the masses numbed by TV that will believe whoever is talking loudest on TV regardless of they are saying. If the political commentators started yelling for peace next week, they'd believe that. There'd still be those "iconoclasts" holding out for war, of course -- I'm not saying all those pro-war are all mindless and easily swayed. But a lot of America, sadly, is.

Truth is, there aren't "pro-war" protests because people who are pro-war aren't trying to change anything or present a different opinion. And that's really all there is to it.
