As the clouds loomed over the capital hundreds of thousands of people gathered to protest the corruption and greed in Washington D.C. Protesting everything from the health care bills, or lack thereof, taxes, the deficit, the continuation of the Iraq & Afgan wars, the lies, failure to read the bills, failure to listen. Just about everything under the sun, or clouds in this instance. 912DC was a success because of the large turnout. Though, it remains to be seen what will come out of it, if anything.

In our small community here on the Columbia, nothing much happens to excite any one, hardly ever. This last Saturday our park down by the cop shop was filled with all sorts of folks protesting BigGov. I went forth amongst them. My Profiling abilities are challenged but, some appeared to be Mex, some were obviously Jews. Hell there were folks who appeared niggeredly and others apparently homeless, and me. And more.

This isn’t a statement of any sort, we were there in our hundreds protesting BigGov.

Our press, the Herald didn’t even bother to pan this remarkable gathering. Our local TV opted for the blind eye.

When a breeze ripples a Kansas Wheatfield. You can turn at no cost. When the clouds are rolling and a little funnel tail is dropping in the breeze, turn if you will.

My brother and I were there. The crowd estimation around midday was 1.5 million. I definitely believe that a million showed up. But...how many supporting the cause were watching from home,that couldn't show up for a variety of reasons? It's not enough that we had a massive public showing,but there was support in other ways from home,i'm sure!
