man, has no one here got a sense of humor or an ear for irony?

seriously, congrats to the RCP for organizing *anything*, but it's true that the rhetoric of the speakers far out-stripped the numbers on display. we could have a serious debate about the utility of the marches as tactics, but that's not what i was trying do above, b/c, frankly, i don't think that can happen here on indymedia.

the internet is an amazing tool for breaking away the barriers of information disemination, but since we're talking a two-way flow, it also tends to dilute the level of discussion by giving time-wasting mongoloids serious, thoughtful debaters the same weight. Or, to quote the tagline of another very popular site, "The Internets make you stupid."

I don't know why I even bother scrolling past the stories anymore, much less offering my own contribution. If you're upset about the level of discourse you find here, try finding it somewhere else.
