&lt;p&gt;From New York City this week, *NOT* from April.&amp;nbsp; If they&#039;re still at it, it can&#039;t have gone flat.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It good to see so many others that are worried about the terrible turn this country has taken in the last several months.&amp;nbsp; It provides hope.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I looked at...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Crude,&lt;br /&gt;
I looked at your link before it mysteriously disappeared. Looked like there may have been a 1000 people or so there. At most.&lt;br /&gt;
You do understand that the Las Vegas population is almost 2 million people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These marches died worse today. Than they did the first time around.&lt;br /&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Participation numbers at the tea bag pary truly does not represent the level of frustration&amp;nbsp;people are experiencing.&amp;nbsp; Every&amp;nbsp;political conversations I&amp;nbsp;hear (and I don&#039;t always start one knowing that they can drag out sometimes) are around the stimulus and&amp;nbsp;the number of government programs Obama is initiating&amp;nbsp;on borrowed tax money.&amp;nbsp; If you think we&#039;re heading in the right direction, your kids (and their kids) will hate you for your vote.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

You are...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Sooner,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are absolutely correct. People are mad as heck that Obama hasn&#039;t repealed the Bush Tax cuts for the rich. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;America is at war. We are in a fight against a great depression.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s time Americans sacrifice. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was insane to institute those tax cuts for the wealthy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So it is time to suffer their consequence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I find is amusing. Is the dentist that marches today against tax increases. Then marches against a reduction in his Government payments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or the Ambulance operator who marches today. then fights for greater Government payouts. (hey isn&#039;t that happening right here at home?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These people who march today are obscenely hypercritical.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s because they think government operates it&#039;s finances as if it were a church.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;It&#039;s budgets&amp;nbsp; formed by donations. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And a miracle or two that sends bundles of cash to their doorstep. The one kind of earmark they adore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;The &#039;tea party&#039; crowd are a bunch of Johnny come-lately&#039;s anyhow. Some Glenn Beck creation to stifle actual protest and debate of the parasitic bureaucracy. It&#039;s probably best they don&#039;t get publicity for waiting until acceptable hours to make a substantial attempt to voice public concern and disapproval of the corruption and criminal acts of government at all levels. Following orders doesn&#039;t sound much like civil disobedience to me.&lt;/p&gt;

You do...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Bravo,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You do understand that Ventura County alone has a population of 800,000 people. And that it is only a few miles north of the Largest populated metro area in North America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3500 people! There will be 30 times that many people at M. Jackson&amp;rsquo;s funeral. That&amp;rsquo;s on a weekday. Not a holiday weekend. It&amp;rsquo;s on a Tuesday. Not Forth of July.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

They certainly are not representative of 15,000 people. Remember folks. The BC stadium only seats 20 thousand or so. &lt;br /&gt;
Rabo Bank arena is a maximum capacity of 10,000 for Hockey.&amp;nbsp; 8700 for Arena football.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe 10,000 or so are waiting in line at the Porta Potty&amp;rsquo;s.&lt;br /&gt;
