Thanks for the report, basil. Usually the police keep the groups separate - I don't understand why the policeman couldn't help unless he sympathized with the other side - hope that's not the case.

A dozen FReepers on short notice is a good showing. I haven't looked at the pictures yet, but I'm sure the difference between the two groups was apparent. We had lots of young people, dirty looking and badly dressed marching here, too.

Good work - thanks Heart of Texas FReepers.

TheBatLady's husband wanted this sign:

IMAGINE                                     THE GOAL:
WHIRLED                                     ELIMINATE
PEACE-niks                                  TERRORISM

Then I put on my Afghanistan woman's costume, head to toe veils.
My sign

AFGAN  *                                        WHAT IS FEMALE
HOOTERS                                        & CAN'T READ
GIRL                                                   THIS SIGN?

* OK, I admit that I spelled it wrong, and the guy on the other side of the street (leftist) called
me on it. Pretty funny I thought.  but 2 reasons ... one my sign was too small and for another
thing the Afgan women aren't allowed to learn to read or write so of course it would be mis-
spelled.

One reporter for the ACC student newspaper, asked about my outfit and I had to explain that
if we lost this war, this is what she (and the American Hooters girls) would be wearing next year.
I had only had it on for about 10 min. and it was already really pushing on my nose.

We had patriotic music, Lots of American flags (OH THEY HAD ONE) so chanting, some
dialog and a good time was had by all.
