#2 The best one:

The prominent leadership locally, regionally and statewide reeks of elitism and lacking grassroots appeal... I suggested that the March be organized and headed by a charismatic, youthful leader. No one listened, it is being headed by the old vanguard of the 60's 70's, who are totally out of touch with real issues.

#4 my favourite:
Honestly, I just plain forgot. I have so many things going on with trying to find a new job and settling back in to Fresno, that I simply ran out of steam and forgot.

#6 "Well, it wasn't a bright, sunny day....and you didn't provide me with free transportation.....and a snack.....ooh, my back hurts, too....and well, the turnout was low, so I guess that means we're the majority viewpoint, so that's a success.....and my Che shirt has a mustard stain right on his beret....plus the dog ate my kaffiyeh instead of his vegetarian special diet....besides, why weren't those damn college kids hanging around the campus all weekend? Ok, *I* never did back in the day, but damn these spoiled kids!! Don't they realize there's a draft coming????"

It's like going to a virtual online freakshow, it's both exciting and sickening, I like that. Conservative, dignified people who didn't know this fine site, beware of your blood pressure browsing through this!

#8 I am telling you this low turnout smacks right in the face of polls (sic) supposedly showing an waning support for the war an Bush. If the polls were correct we should have seen a marked INCREASE of participation. Maybe I am seeing things through the wrong prism but something aint right with those polls.

#12 "With opposition to the war at an all time high, why is attendance at anti-war events so low?"

Hearing LLL trying to make sense of their twisted perception of reality is music to my ears. Really, really good music.

#14 When making excuses for ineptitude, lack of imagination, and over all apathy Id suggest going with the standard Republican-Led congress.
