To coin the expression, nothing creates success like success. Likewise, nothing creates failure like failure. That's not to say that an action has to always have big numbers, but marches like these clearly fail when they only have diminishing numbers. I mean, I saw those pictures from the Columbus march and I thought...hide those pictures...dont let anybody see those 10 people! (OK, there may have been more than that)
So what needs to be done is to find something where we could succeed. Now the billion dollar question: what would that be?

<<We are at such a point in mankind's evolution where changed conditions invalidate all our policies that have been so successful even in the recent past, and that presumably have constituted the ideal response to a presumably unchanging and unchangeable human condition. No wonder we are stupefied and confused-but our mistake is the same which many cultures have made before us, namely to force a rigid model upon a fluid reality.
