    The really interesting thing I thought is tha tthis is the ONLY antiwar protest that has gotten conventional media play. At the run up to the war millions gathered in DC, NY, etc. and on the nightly news you got one line "Protesters Gathered today. Blah blah. Now more about Paris Hilton..."

    What's interesting is this is the EXACT opposite of the 60's mass protests. This is one woman standing in a ditch in Texas with a simple ass question - "What did my son die for."

    It's interesting that THIS is what the media focuses on. Maybe politics and the theater thereof has changed for good...
