    It's not going away any time soon. You might want to park in the garage, and put up a big electrified barb wire fence.

    This will also help keep the boogey man out!

    hey...double bonus.

    Why should the guy have to park his car in the garage or do anything different to his house? If people are going to protest they should just stick with that. No need to trash other people's property.

    That's right! Peaceful protesters are vandals of the worst sort.

    I'm betting he doesn't like protesters in his neighborhood period. Or within 100 feet. Now if his house and care were damaged...sure. But chances are he's just bitching..
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    The police state is already trying to suppress the news getting out:

    Watch as police harass and arrest:

    edit: almost forgot

    Protesters fined $10,000 for putting up signs:

    I don't really give a shit where they are at. It's the spray paint and broken windows that those "peaceful protesters" like to leave behind that make them worthless wastes of air.

    How do you know it's these "peaceful protesters" spray painting and break windows? Did you actually see them doing this kind of vandalism. I'm down all the time protesting and I've never vandalized or scene anyone doing such activities and if I did I would tell THAT'S not cool, THAT'S not why we're here for.

    Then you get people like you bunching protesters in one group as you call it a worthless waste of air. Video tape next time or call the police if and when this occurs they'll be plenty down there this Saturday even some on horseback. Oh you want them they would leave some horse dung behind and I'm sure you wouldn't be happy with that outcome.

    I hope I'll get to meet you just to see what we could talk about.

    I'm sure most of the participants are fine people. Large groups like that are bound to attract plenty of assholes though which is who I was referring to as worthless.

    I can't really always watch my car since I have to park on the street and that sometimes could be a few blocks away. Those windows get expensive though.

    The only reason I know that the people I see spray painting in the area are associating themselves with protests is because they are carrying signs through the neighborhood and yelling obscenities. I know it's my fault for living there but I just haven't moved yet.

    I can understand your plight living in DC. I work several blocks from the Vice Prez Naval Obseratory home and parking can be a nightmare in the city.

    Well let's hope all of us will be on our best behavior tomorrow and let our protest be heard cause if we fuck up and cause trouble that will certainly be the high light of the news.

    i think the big problem in this country lies when people are scared to say WHATEVER they want. this is supposedly what our country stands for and is exporting...so its good to see that we can still do that...

    I posted this elsewhere a few days ago....
    Oh my knees are killing me in part from playing with a 4 year old, got keep the young ones entertained. As for the turn out it was great near 20,000 or more I'm not really sure. I'd have pics but I left my camera on and the batteries died.

    The peace marchers were mostly peaceful from what I could see. They were a few arrests of those who crossed a barrier to the Capital steps. Pro-War tried their best to intimidate or tempt me into a confrontation, "traitor" was one their favorite comments. They wanted none of me I just told them thank you and smiled, they got even more pissed off. What a bunch of angry people they were unbelievable and in front of small children. I almost lost it once though when made a comment about race mixing.

    ALL and ALL....It was a truly memorable day one and one I won't forget anytime in the beautiful people I met and the not so beautiful people too.

    Peace

    If I could add that this was sent from ANSWER Coalition. Also another observation I noticed..... After the March on the way back to the train station I took a careful into the eyes of people I saw as we walked. I walked carrying one of my favorite peace signs..."We can Bomb the World to Pieces, But we can't Bomb it into Peace"..Michael Franti musician. I wondered about those who didn't participate in the March what they thought of me and what we just did.

    Strangely enough it seemed I saw fear in their eyes, a nervousness as to why would we want to get involved in protesting. It seemed some wanted to hurry away from me with little eye contact as my apparent stance made our walk so uneasy for them.

    So I wondered even more as to what would change, what would get these folks energized enough to want to say something, do something, do anything? Would it be a loss of a child of there's in the war? I don't know but all we can do is hold unto the rights we have left, express them and leave those unaffected by the downstruction of what's happening to this country to other spiritual sources.
