That impressed me all day as well. As I mentioned, there were thousands of bottles of spring water handed out during the day. They were consistently deposited in trash barrels. And when the barrels were full, they were deposited in centralized piles that one person would start and others would gravitate to. There was no vocal or physical rowdiness. Generally a completely solemn and respectful atmosphere. And, considering the size of the crowd, that is really a testimony to the man who was being honored.
Mostly, I think says a lot about the element which supports conservatism.
I was wondering what a funeral for Billy boy would look like...if I live that long. Probably will look like a alumni gathering of carnies, (no offense to circus personnel). I bet they will behave like Visigoths! We saw their behavior when Billy and his tuna left the WH.
