I do have a great digital camera. I took over 300 pictures.

I am amazed that the DC Metro system doesn't know how to handle rallies and crowds by now. It is clean, but they need to redesign the ticketing process, and create 'express' trains that only go from one station to the mall. Even the parking lots filled up, and I had no idea if there was extra parking (there was a high school close by that they should have directed people to). But, it would have been even nicer if there was a high speed train that would travel from Cleveland or Cincinnati to DC.

The signs came in three flavors: sane, funny to lefties, and making fun of the right. Weird or Halloween would make up another category


I can list a few of them here

The Fear Is Too Damn High Party

Be Excellent To Each Other

Restore Sanity

Muslims For Peace ( 2 guys from muslimsforpeace.org)

When you teach a man to HATE and FEAR his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color, or his beliefs, or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those that differ from you threaten your FREEDOM, or your JOB, or your FAMILY, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies, to be met not with cooperation but with conquest; to be subjugated and mastered. -RFK - 1969
