There would have been more protestors if there was a draft; and if the draft included middle class college boys.

I always dreamed of being a hippie when I grew up. Then I grew up.

Damn roving gangs of “hippies.” Troublemakers. All of ‘em.

Wow. Well written!

I’m one of those ex-hippies who is now older..but I didn’t know about the protest. I am thinking they need better organization.

I wouldn’t have gone. I hate the war but love the soldiers. I’d feel horrible to see them treated like others were after returning from Vietnam. I find other ways to protest.

My favorite part is how the job to “cover a peace rally” as a story for the SN&R had to end up being changed into an editorial because what Jamie O’Neill thinks SHOULD have been discussed and who SHOULD have been there didn’t actually happen.

But thank goodness for all those 200 old hippies with nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon who showed up. Without them Mr. O’Neill would have had nothing to report- oh wait, there was no real reporting done anyways- just a spattering of names of attenders admist O’Neill’s own rhetoric.

I guess when you got to sell lines of text for money, you put whatever lines of text down you can.

Maybe Mr. O’Neill will have more success reporting on the next peace rally if he organizes it- clearly he had more of a bee in his bonnet about the matter than the attendees.

and i thought Bugaboo’s f-bomb was going to be the gutsiest f-bomb today.

what is ironic about calling low turnout at a public event “democracy”?
