I don't have the slightest idea who the author of this post is or what
his politics are. But perhaps some of those who were in Philadelphia can
comment.

The only thing that these protests "rocked" were the inflated egos of
those 
who think that anyone in Philadelphia cared about these so-called
protests.  
Television coverage has been minimal and the GOP carries on its pep
rally 
with little to no disruption.  Chicago '68 this ain't...despite the
nostalgic 
wishes of many.  Even Jello Biafra commented that these protests were
"not 
nearly as festive as Seattle."  When the chicken squawks loudest is when
it 
lays the biggest egg, and the protesters in Philly are making an
omellete.  
To even compare it to the activities of Chicago '68 is both delusional
and, I 
think, rather insulting.

No my friends...the whole world isn't watching...not even the world that
has 
cable TV.
