    How do you mean? I said the anti-war movement didn't really exist until the Vietnam war. That's when your Hollywood types started to become the generic centerpieces that still exist today. Actors, actresses, musicians etc...

    Edit: 10-4 n/p


    Centerpieces? I hardly look to celebrities for information or leadership. If they want to express themselves and get out there, well that's very cool...good for them. But I don't see how it means anything more than any other person out there.

    Well, let's see...500,000 came out for Saturday's protest. I've been to a few now and I've seen it with my own eyes, joined the groups being organized, donated to their causes. These people aren't just doing nothing...they're getting their message out and it's priority for them...all this without a draft hanging over our heads. I've felt great relief and happiness at these marches where I had once had feelings of apathy creeping in.
