Sep 17, 2008 - pedant. I assume you won't be taking the opporunity to "march for peace" with the thousands of other people attending the demo.

Sep 17, 2008 - Pedant?! If you view the universe as energy, which it is, it should become clear how destructive your methods are, which is why they are tolerated by those who get how it works...Mother Theresa never attended a protest, was she a pedant? 'Show me a peace march and I'll be with you...' she said. She knew how it works, it's a shame you 'activists' miss the point. I'll be there on Saturday, with a banner saying 'Peace?' nothing more, nothing less, because that is the only thing worth marching for.

Oct 5, 2008 - I totally agree: I was at the march in September and there was a miniscule turnout compared to 2006 when well over 10,000 people showed up. It's the narrow-minded bandwagon organisers who have driven everybody away, and what's worse it has been by design. Of course a lot of the organisers are unaware that they are being manipulated by the 'elite' (Tony Benn gets funded by several far-right groups) It was all a pre-planned exercise in futility. The game has changed, shame these guys haven't.

Sep 16, 2008 - Anti this, anti that, anti everything...'Anti-war demonstration' is how you market this...ever thought of putting on a 'peace' march? Your aims are true but your methods are not. By generating massive amounts of negative energy you only exascerbate the problem. I am against war, but I describe myself not as 'anti-war'...but as 'pro-peace'. If you do not understand the difference, you should not be standing up to 'inform' others. Wake up sleepy-heads, let's start spreading love. Not fear.
