I think that's so. That's one (minor) reason I didn't march.

However, I think this was a mistake. Last time I went, I helped lead a spontaneous rank and file rebellion against the march leaders (a Workers' World Party split-off with some silly name) who wanted to delay the march so we'd have to listen to their stupid speeches. -- Jim Devine / "There can be no real individual freedom in the presence of economic insecurity." -- Chester Bowles
