A reference to the root of all evil in the Lord of the Rings series. The shire is the beautiful, peaceful place where the hobbits live. |
Bush's cowboy shtick didn't wow this crowd. |

You can not kill for peace |

Another Carpenter for Peace |
This was the basic message...
further enumerated and depicted
here.
This was part of the subtext.
Regime change begins in the White House |
If you pay taxes you're supporting terrorism |
Who elected this fucker? |
For my Iranian-American friends
Behi and Homayoon
A good point...
another good point...
and another good point.
Many signs reminded Georgie
of his obligations as a Christian.
Jesus, Gandhi and Martin Luther
King, Jr. were widely quoted.
Bilingual banner
The Vermonters had one of
the most beautiful banners.
Why should Vermonters have to die for Texas Oil Billionaires? Why indeed? |
Vermont still has the dream...there were a lot of American flags, people showing that they thought what they were doing was patriotic. |
The GLBT community was not
forgetting recent history.
Make glam, not war
This fashionable patriot had
his hair shaved into a peace symbol.
This was a good one. I understand
the TV works were showing lots
of black and ethnic faces
so the white folks at home would think it wasn't a "mainstream" crowd.
It was a gloriously diverse
crowd but minorities were not overrepresented,
there were plenty of white
suburban people with their kids out there, PLENTY.
Veterans were well represented
at this ANTIWAR demonstration.
If anybody has any credibility
on this issue, it's these people.
Various groups and chapters
were represented.
There were veterans of every age out there. |
These vets would like to remind us of something. And no, going AWOL from the Texas National Guard doesn't count. |
I don't know who these guys
were but they were quite striking in their masks and costumes.
This guy was representing
polar bears against oil drilling in Alaska.
We all admired his very warm-looking
costume.
The only thing the papers
got right about the demonstration was that it was cold out there.
But not as cold...as Bush's
heart!
Fight the real enemy.
We saw Toddlers for Peace,
Babies Against the War, and even Dogs for Peace.

This one's for Bartcop.
Random crowd shots
Pretty mainstream, wouldn't
you say?
This guy had his pithy sign
on a
telescopic pole for maximum
height.
This was one of the lines
to get into the Air and Space Museum,
where one could spend a few
minutes warming up,
using the very clean facilities,
and having some EXTREMELY fast fast food.
First all our bags and coats
had to be X-rayed but there were evidently no terrorists among us.
Thought this was fitting for
my last shot of the day.
