Let me tell you a story.

As of October 25th, two thousand American soldiers have died in the war in Iraq, and more than ten times as many Iraqi citizens. MoveOn.org sent out a call for people to attend one of the candlelight vigils that their regional coordinators would be hosting in various places across the country on the evening of the 26th, between 6:30 and 7:00 pm.

I learned about the protest through an e-mail alert from TrueMajority, another social action coalition whose mailing list I had joined. I went to MoveOn's website to find the location of the vigil in Philadelphia. There were actually two, one at City Hall and one in Washington Square, at 7th and Locust.

I went to the 'Two Thousand Too Many' vigil in Washington Square. )
