Marching to Oblivion: We Need to Up the Ante

"We are law abiding citizens in an outlaw nation. For three years now we have taken to the streets to protest the war and the occupation. Yet our protests have become steadily smaller, less focused, more anemic and ineffectual. Hence, one could not be faulted for wondering whether they are organized by the Bush administration to allow us to blow off steam."

"We had done nothing to prevent business as usual. We hadn't blocked traffic, or taken over universities, or prevented army recruiters from visiting high schools. Our march, therefore, was a parody of a protest."

Does anyone join Paul Cantor and me in these feelings?
