Gee whiz...that means that even fewer people support war since even fewer people turned out for pro-war demonstrations. Are you willing to follow your own logic to that conclusion?

arent you supposed to say 30,000,000 divided by 6,275,283,237 ???? That comes to point48 percent or .0048 and that would be one in 200.

I had to estimate as my little calculator here in office does not do numbers that big, though

Well you do have a point here..... but this is the exact reason that the founders feared a true democracy. If you leave it up to the majority (masses of stupidity)to make major decisions, then those decisions will be bad and based on the "logic" of the masses.... greed, envy to name a few, rather than on real logic.

IMO public demonstrations mean very little in light of reality. The rest of us were working or had more important things to do. What counts is action when the rubber hits the road. That is where we will see what our country is made of, not by filming/photographing a horde of screaming immature liberals.
