I liked the march. It was gruelling. I had an electronic megaphone with a recording of a chant, "BUSH IS THE ANTICHRIST", plus clips of the poet Laurie Carlos singing "We're living in the jungles of America," the poet Sapphire saying, "Now let's do the Wild Thing!", and Holly Hughes saying, " I think spending a little time walking through the portals of homosexuality will give you a feeling for the big picture." (followed by the chant again). This was all looped to repeat endlessly. I wasn't there to exactly have fun. The people around me in the street seemed to get very serious under the spell from this.
The energy in front of the Garden was a peak of human anger I have never experienced anywhere in my life. Maybe we are evolving a little bit in a positive way, since aside from the torched dragon, which I was happy to see, there was negligible conflict. I am very proud to have been among the half million who overwhelmed.
We need one of these marches everyday.
