I wouldn't feel bad about the numbers or the total mainstream media blackout. I live in NY, was there, and just wanted say--Good job guys! I suspect you have more support in the city than it seemed. There is no real reason for a normal, smart person to be in that area unless they have to work there. it's really for tourists and financial workers. I couldn't get any friends to go with me either due to work or that it seemed it would be a hassle.

I also think you would have met more resistance in another city, but I could be wrong. NYers are overwhelmingly Democrats and still despise Giuliani after living through his reign of hypocritical terror. I wish the rest of the country could see through that man...I can't wait until he runs for Presidency and has to explain how he tried to use 911 as a state of emergency, cancelling the mayoral elections so he could stay in office past his term.

I saw someone who smartly brought along a laptop for impromptu visua aids--he had a throng of curious people around him. I thought it interesting that most of them were non-caucasians...guess white people can't be bothered .
