Considering the emphasis people and the news tend to put on a few troublemakers, I thought news of an alarmingly peaceful demonstartion would be appropriate. I attended this demonstration for a period of time, but some health issues kept me from participating through out the whole day. Just to note this was biggest demonstration in Boston in over 30 years:

Thx Chewbacca
But as you can see by counting the number of replies, when there isn't any violence or troubles it's not interresting enough...Sad isn't it ?

OOOOOOOOOO! Imagine a world of peace! And how do they think it will be accomplished? Are thugs like Sodamn Insane and Kim Il Jong going to just realise the error of their ways and play nice? Get real.

Yeah it is sad, Of course the news media has treated the demonstrations the same way. Death and destruction gets more ratings and garners more controversy.

Well, at least some people are open-minded enough to learn about both sides of the issue and make informed opinions for themselves. That is reassuring! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Quite right. Now all you people hoping for a world of peace stop it right now. You should be protesting aginst peace!

All together now:

We want war!
We want war!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill! Kill! Kill!

I shouldn't be facetious. I think if world leaders thought that nobody was anti-war (any war), we would likely have a lot more of it. Keep on demonstrating (peacefully of course ).
