243. That decent people need to find a new banner.

People may think that a big crowd will change things--it won't.

But, having the entire anti-war movement associated with anti-American Stalinists who support genocidal dictators is counter-productive, to say the least.

The truth of the matter is that demonstrations won't work until the great middle mass of America decides to get off its butt. In a country of 300 million people, getting 250,000 people to turn out on one weekend ain't no big deal.
