Half a Million Converge in NYC March

That's one heck of a "focus group" saying the U.S. needs to chart a better course, folks.

Consider this: last weekend in August, hot and humid weather, money's too tight for many to afford to travel at all, school about to start, New York City under its toughest lockdown since the aftermath of 9/11.

Yet 500,000 showed up to march. For each of those half million, how many people wanted to be there (raising my hand) and could not? One? Five? Ten? A hundred? A thousand?

To all of you who did get there, my profound thanks.

This isn't about "anti-Bush", regardless of how the media portrays it. This is PRO America, but an America of ideals, not just bullying, brute force, and extremely lucrative no-bid contracts to the military industrial complex.

Cheney, Rumsfeld and their ilk COME from those companies. They'll return to them, too, having made them so much richer during their tenure.
