There WAS a MOVE-ON demonstration in this city.

Was headed to it, but Dear Ol' Ma Bowser needed some attention.

These are all "spontaneous" to the extent that while time and place may be pre-determined, no one has a financial interest in the statements. As a matter of fact, it can be a real trial and expense for some people to get there.

And done as a matter of principle.

Imagine - "Stop The Killing" demonstrations are opposed by Fundamental Christians. I've lost a lot of respect for organized Christianity over that. Any church that does not oppose Iraq is beyond any respect at all.

These demonstrations are middle-class folks, not the kinda mangy hippies of the '60s and early '70s. I suspected them, at first, of dodging the draft. Later I came to regard dodging the draft as a moral imperative.
