Size counts

[joanna bujes]

65,000? No fucking way. First, civic center in SF cannot hold as many 
people as march. So what happens when rallies get too big is that everybody 
marches to the civic center and then they go home. Then the next wave 
arrrives. People started marching at 10:30 and marched until 3:30. A 
CONTINUOUS flow of people. Taking a static picture at the "height" of the 
march means nothing.

This next statement is an outright LIE:

"Both Air Flight Service and The Chronicle examined the photo survey and 
independently arrived at the  estimate of 65,000 marchers at the time 
the  photographs were taken, a figure supported by public transportation 
statistics."

BART reported and extra 150,000 marchers that Sunday and there was no ball 
game anywhere. Those extra folks were going to the march. That's why they 
had to run extra trains. Others took buses or drove; others live in the city.

This kind of arithmetic reminds me of that old joke: "Why are women so bad 
at math?" (Now hold your thumb and index finger a few inches apart and 
say...) "Because all their lives they've been told that this is eight 
inches." And, for the record, in the case of the virile member, size does 
not matter....except that too big hurts.
