but, it's a demo. it's pretty standard to read/hear people complain about how stupid demos are. I happen to think they have a purpose, but if they are staid and risk-averse in NYC, nothing much is going to change in Columbus. Unless you're just hoping to deal with pork power that's a lot less apt to use NYC tactics?
The something else that has to be done, really isn't organizing some massive protest in the mid-west, I don't think. Yoshie mentions that they aren't memorable. I think that's more a function of the fact that people just aren't interested in doing the same old, same old. Like I said, I think they have their purposes, but my reading of the typical anti-war liberal is that they aren't into demos since they haven't accomplished a whole lot.
