5. Just an aside...
Ms Fonda is correct about having mass protests, but gee -- haven't there already been MASSIVE protests all over the country? She might not be aware of them because none of the networks carry them -- they are played down or are ignored. C-Span is the only place you might see such a protest. The networks didn't even carry the protest march in New York -- as massive as it was -- during the Nazi rally whoops I meant the RNC convention.

On the other hand, the Terri Schiavo Must Live protests -- which were maybe a few dozen people -- got oodles of airtime daily for a couple of weeks. And the recent immigrant protest marches have also gotten a lot of attention. But the anti war anti Bush protests have been as big or bigger -- and are ignored. Outrageous.
