I did not end up going to the saturday protest that was organized by ANSWER. From what I heard about it I am not sorry. It sounded like an angry protest, with anger on both sides. This protest drew anti-protesters. I heard one man on NPR say that he was going to be there to make sure that the peace people did not deface the Vietnam War Memorial. How can peace be so mis-characterized? There were also people at Arlington National Cemetery with the same purpose.
I dont understand how peace can draw such vehement responses against it. I recently heard something else troubling on NPR.

It seems a small town in MN had voted to support the creation of a department of peace and non-violence. Just check out the link, it is a crazy story that I cant even paraphrase
