Semi Truths

This weekend, the entire Southern mid-Atlantic was covered in a record amount of snow. The planned for Peace March in my town attracted only the heartiest souls … sadly, myself not among them.

The snow started to let up about 4:00. We were all going a little stir crazy in the house, so I asked my two girls — six and eight — if they still wanted to go protest the war. They were game, so instead of marching to the Downtown Mall, we drove there and walked around. All that was left of the protest were a few desiccated “snow angels” and a single sign. The girls decided they still wanted to have their own “parade”, so they stomped around crying “No More War!” and waving their umbrellas in the air. It wasn’t very politically potent, but it was awfully cute.

The reports have come in from around the globe, with estimates between four and twenty million protestors engaging in rallies this weekend. Even though the local contingent was a little sparse, the worldwide turnout was impressive. I have spent a little time gathering the most interesting pictures I could find of what has become known as F15 and present them to you here on the following pages. There are a lot of files here, so be prepared for some serious load time:
