Chris Hedges: March to Nowhere – Chris Hedges’ Columns – Truthdig

Posted on October 5, 2010 by iwilder

There was no war cry against Wall Street and the purveyors of death in the defense and health industry.

Progressive “One Nation” Event a Bit Disappointing, We Didn’t March | News for Greens

Posted on October 3, 2010 by iwilder

The use of the word “march” was, instead, an act of cheapening activism.
