We have a peace rally here in OKC at a certain location every evening at 5PM -- the big one is on Fridays. We don't get the colorful types Rudey describes. Mostly a bunch of 60's left-behinds trying to relive their youths. I have a feeling that they see this more as a social event and an opportunity to show off their mad bongo skillz than anything reasonably calculated to accomplish a political objective.

That's just my take though.

I'm glad we agree on this.
If it's on a Friday at 5 p.m. presumably they could have gone to work all day...maybe even somewhere other than their daddy's law firm.
