2. Think Chicago 1968

I was there and it didn't help the anti-war cause one bit. Violence in the streets does not play well in middle America. It scares the crap out of Irwin and Shirley who are just happy to have a free weekend to spend with their kids.

I would rather see a silent protest. Either everyone stays home and the city is dark and silent or there are quiet candle vigils with no violence.

If it gets ugly it will help Bush.
