   It was a great gathering - some said it was more like a Roman agora or
   New England town hall meeting than a protest. We met in front of the
   Danish Embassy, held up our signs and chatted for a while. After a
   while the police ladies arrived and told us to move along to Dag
   Hammarskjold plaza, which is the traditional place where protests are
   held. Since most of the attendees hadn't been to a protest for years
   (if ever) they didn't know the rules.

   Michael Weiss of [2]Snarksmith organized the rally. [3]Judith Weiss
   and [4]Libertas helped publicize it. About a hundred people showed up,
   which is pretty good considering that it was wicked cold. In Dag
   Hammarskjold plaza, most gathered into a circle and spoke their minds.
   There were no featured speakers, and given the impromptu planning,
   megaphones weren't allowed. As a result, it was equality in action,
   one of the most democratic rallies I've ever been to.

   Passing truck drivers honked their horns and waved. We waved back.
