Wow 10 Million people stood up and where counted last weekend... It made me cry....in joy of course that we as individuals made a stand....the silent majority has stirred.

Remember the 100th monkey affect...well this was it even if figures where exagerated or modest the critical mass numbers where reached and the figure given in news papers all over the world didn't count for all those who had to work, or just couldn't make it...such a fantastic display of human outpouring the world had ever seen.

Bush and Blair have already lost, no matter what their actions are from here forward, they have lost and we the people have gained the support and confidence to stand strong...to voice our opinions...even though both Blair and Bush et el...have arragantly dismissed us they have done so at their peril for what has been done cannot now or ever be undone and there is much more for us to do now that we have the confidence....they are the few and we are the many

So I would like to take this opportunity to thank us all for this momentus time in our living history....we have only just begun.....as the song says

power to the peaceful

Whether one believes in demonstrations or not (I'm one who believes in trying every means available to end oppression and war) how could that not have some positive effect, especially in the minds of people who are forced to work so many hours to survive that they don't have the time to think. Even "couch potatoes" who are thus because of a generalized despondency with world conditions had to have taken notice and found reason to hope once again. Love ~ Tricia

I do believe it has an impact, I just think protests alone are insufficient to bring about a peaceful world. I think we have to decide where to put our energy. Not just our mental and spiritual energy, but our financial energy as well. If we start putting our money where our mouth is, stop funding war, stop buying gasoline which encourages them to launch a war, stop buying their cigarettes, and their chemicals, and their pharmaceuticals, the rich warlords of the world won't have a dime to stand on.
