Look, I was at one of the major rallies. The celebs have almost
nothing to do with it. I met all sorts of people, people of all
races, ages, political persuasions. Most of them were not
"peaceniks" even. They are simply American citizens that
consider this proposed war to be wrong and intend to make their
voices heard. How about noting that this is the people, that
which this country is supposed to be about, of and for,
expressing itself instead of pretending their voices are
illegitimate? To do otherwise would be dishonest.
