Demonstrators drove up the noise level by banging on white plastic buckets, metal pots and pans and at least one wok.My kids used to like doing that when they were toddlers, too. Like minds play alike.

Robert Weissman of Mobilization for Global Justice, a protest sponsor, said it has been harder to gather a huge anti-globalization crowd since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Wow, how strange is THAT? Could it be that many Americans actually WOKE UP to the threats we face from terrorism?
"It's changed the focus of American politics so everyday working people, the media and the protesters look to a different set of issues," he said. "We really have the war on terrorism dominating the political discourse over the last 2 1/2 years."
AS IT SHOULD BE.....after all, it's only our lives at stake here.
A separate and much larger protest was coming together Sunday, in favor of abortion rights.
How lovely that they should choose a Sunday to favor the murder of innocent babies.
