You must not have been in DC (January '07). While you're right, it's not like the sixties, there were hundreds of thousands of people there. I managed to get about 12 feet up in a tree to get a better look, and the crowd stretched as far as I could see.

In Crawford, Texas (August '05), there were hundreds, possibly thousands (there was never a way to get a good look at the entire crowd) all packed on this little 12 foot wide country road that became known as Camp Casey. People spent the night in ditches to show their support and protest.

To Billionfold: Yes, corporations run more than the government in a lot of cases, (although the government is now backed by corporation anyway) but one must never underestimate the power of protest, the power of a dedicated people.

A prime example would be what is taking place in Iraq. Those insurgents are standing up against people that are infinitly stronger and more intelligent than they will ever be. And while their losses have been grievous, they're _winning_ (In no way am I advocating violent protest. The point of this is to simply show that protesting can work, or be effective, even against all odds)
