 Of course there were commies and racists . This is NYC .

 But there were all sorts of people and races in the crowd (=
 which is
  the largest I have ever seen and I agree with Gary Snyder's
  estimate of at least a quarter million ) 
 and a spectrum , tinted to be sure , among the speakers .
 NO-ONE defended Saddam . 

 I didn't think any president could be worse than the Clintons ,=
 but 
 our selected president Bush is downright globally frightening=
 and
 therefore prosperity crushing . 

 People are equating Bush and Hussein because of the bloodthirsty=
 
 dictatorial - manner in which he is pursuing his family's=
 vendetta 
 instead of either going after the admitted World Trade Center
 perpetrator Bin Laden , or addressing the festering sore and=
 holder
 of massive arsenal of WOMDs , Israel .
 
 
 I happened to get up to the front of the crowd and was very=
 much
 missing a libertarian themed sign to point out it is the STATE=
 whose
 budgets war swell , not business , not even the oil business .
 As it was , I had conversations with a number of sign holders
 pointing out that you did not have to look beyond the State's=
 self
 interest in war and discord to some "capitalist" motive . I=
 opened
 several minds .
 
 
 Of course everybody was blasting Bush .  In his threats to act=
 as
 dictator to the world , answerable to no-one , he's far scarier
 than any overflown and proctologically inspected billboard=
 dictator
 on the other side of the world . 
 Listen to the UN speeches of all the countries in the world .=
 How
 come they are almost all saying the same things as the massive
 global marches ?

 How can anybody not perceive that our unilateral attack on Iraq
 would greatly increase our personal danger here for years to=
 come ?
