Yesterday around Noon, after four earnest anti-war speeches by Democrats, Greens and a fellow dressed at Ben Franklin, to about 150 folks (predominantly aged 55 and above, counted a dozen children, three anarchist teenagers, a couple marxist-leninists, four iraq war veterans) at the Colorado state capitol, there was a march down the mall, on the sidewalk, very polite. For the privilege of asserting 1st amendment rights to peaceably assemble, the demo cost $500.
