No just wars?

[Sam Jones]

Just returned from the first anti-war march I have attended in almost
thirty years. Nice time. Bright and sunny this sunday afternoon. I
walked with a nice young barefoot fellow carrying a prayer rug. Kept
his palms together the entire route from Republic Park to the Federal
building, oohhhhmmmmmmin' and ahhhhhhin' all the way.  The three ladies
in front of us sure had nice butts. Since I'm the quiet appreciative
type too I guess we both had a good time.

Retoric was suprisingly familar. Signs and slogans were much better. A
lady tugged my sleeve and wordlessly gave up the corner of a banner she
was holding for me to carry. San Francisco folks, artist for peace
roadshow, they called themselves.

Had a nice feeling. Not too many gray hairs in the crowd but enough that
I felt comfortable. Roger's notion that there is not much difference
between this horror and the Viet Nam horror has merit in my opinion.
