NOTES ON A PROTEST RALLY
By J. Peter Mulhern
-- snip --
...After spending the morning working to improve the hygiene of the Chesapeake Bay, I turned my attention to political hygiene. Specifically, I went to swell the crowd on the Mall at the March for Justice sponsored by FreeRepublic. My spell-checker has no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm confident that most of my readers are familiar with FreeRepublic.com and aware of yesterday's march.
Along with many of my fellow freepers (I'm a frequent lurker and occasional poster) I went to the Mall between noon and quarter past four to show support for removing the present occupants from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I also went to be reassured that others feel as I do that Bill Clinton is a grievous insult to the nation I love, and to be inspired by the scheduled speakers. I got everything I bargained for.
The March for Justice was more stationary than its name suggests. It was more of a rally than a march. The first fact any competent report should provide is how many people were in attendance. No doubt some news reports will confidently state the number of attendees, but all my efforts at estimation failed miserably. I asked two Park Policemen for their estimate. One said a couple of thousand. The other said several thousand. Neither seemed very confident in his answer, and neither claimed to be an expert in crowd assessment. Perhaps I should adopt the Nation of Islam approach to crowd assessment and announce that there were at least a million freepers present at yesterday's march.
The protest gathered just west of the Washington Monument. Facing the stage, the Monument was to one's right and the reflecting pool was to one's left. The site, and the weather combined to show Washington at its best. The idyllic circumstances contributed to a cheerful, holiday atmosphere.
The March was serious business and, for the most part, everyone there took it seriously. But the tone was lightened somewhat by the man in the chicken suit with a Clinton mask, the basset hound in a T-shirt marked "IMPOOCHMENT," and other flashes of humor...
Pls. coordinate. I have some ideas.
