You have to register in order to be able to march in the "Freedom March" or whatever the hell they're calling it.
I'm curious to see what the turnout will be.
Also, I saw on the news this morning that Iran had broken the seals on one of it's nuclear processing facilities.
Rummy was screaming something about Iran yesterday too but I can remember what now because I can just see this coming and I don't want to see it.

BTW, golddustdragon, I didn't edit your post up thread. It was an accident. I'm still trying to figure out how to drive this thing.

Gross. "let's spend money others wish they had, for something totally pointless, and possibly disrespectful! Who cares our troops need things, people of the country need things, lets have a parade!"

I wonder if they will publish if the talent is being paid or getting millions in perks like security, private jets, suites, etc. I think they have to. Maybe the event will make money though - I think I read it is a fundraiser - but I am probably wrong.

In any event and while I am not opposed to some type of memorial, I do not think a hoedown is the appropriate vehicle - might I suggest a wreath on a tomb with Taps playing in the background.

Good call. I read in the rest of the thread that it was not a fundraiser.

I think I might suggest a memorial, and......lets see, I dunno.....

GETTING EVERYONE ELSE THE HELL OUT OF THERE?

I predict this march will be something borrowed from Leni Riefenstahl (spelling, like I give a s*** about a master propagandist). It may not be as bad as goose stepping but just the surplus of American flags and the presence of police in riot gear ready to suppress the anti war side is enough to send chills down my spine. And I'm sure it will do the same with everyone else in the world.

Yes, there will be a HUGE protest against this. This could be very bad. At the very least it is in poor taste but I think the intent may be more sinister.

Why do you think people need to register for this Freedom March?

More than likely so the NSA can pull peoples jackets and check out who is actually parading and what their intentions are for doing so...

it is in the interests of "National Security" of course

I bet it will be broadcasted live over here too. Our prime minister follows everything bush and consorts do like a love sick puppy.

I'm glad I've got a concert to go to on 9-11.
