"With ridiculous discussions and accusations like this flying, who needs the cops to divide us?"
One of the more insightful comments I've seen here.
Let's stop pissing on each other. There is no royal road to opposing the war, no one right way of doing things. Saturday was actually a good example of how a multi-variate approach can work.
And the sur-reality of the march routes changing from green to red without much notice proves that -- a lot of people on Clark would be surprised to find out they were taking the un-permitted route, and a lot of people on Dearborn would be surprised to find out they were taking the permitted route. When you get too caught up in the definitions applied by the state, your analysis collapses into a hall of mirrors.
Let's direct our criticism at the people supporting the war. That's probably the only thing we can agree on. As to precisely how we do that, well, there's more than one way. And hitting an issue from every conceivable side is a time-honored method of making progress.
