| Rally for Sanity Anyone go today? I did! The crowd was HUGE, and everyone was so NICE. Definitely an incredibly iconic moment for me. I loved Jon Stewart's ending speech. __________________ "She made it" "So did we..."  Cate/Baze | |||

| Well, lol, all I can say is crowds. We went through the metro, but had to miss two trains because both were completely jam packed. We finally got to the mall, but lol, couldn't see much because it was SO crowded. A little hard to hear as well  I think the highlight was the signs. There were some really funny ones---"I value intellectual debate (guess that means I'm not American" "think outside the Fox") But everyone was very nice, calm and sane lol. We talked to people who had come from ALL over the US (Maine, California, South Carolina, etc.) Also definitely diverse, contrary to some news reports. It was nice to see everyone support each other---the crowd at one point cheered on a guy who was climbing a tree to see everything.__________________ "She made it" "So did we..." Cate/Baze | |||

| I'm sorry to hear that I tried the link again, and it worked. Try this link?: YouTube - Jon Stewart Opens The Rally To Restore Sanity If that works for you, you can check the C-SPAN page for more. The more sanity we spread, the better Thanks! __________________ "She made it" "So did we..." Cate/Baze | |||

| Grrr, isn't the name a bit ablist?... I haven't been there, obviously, only watched a little on TV, but I heard an enterpratuer (wrong spelling, I know) say that John Stewart didn't make use of his position to say something overtly political, instead he intended to be 'crowd pleasing' to all sides. I don't know if that's true, but it was one's critique on this event, so I thought it had been an interesting point to make. | |||
