Wow! I just heard Etan Thomas speaking at the Anti-War rally...
he is incredible. I loved his speech which I saw on Democracy Now (thank you Democracy Now). His words were musical, intelligent, emotional, vivid, so many wonderful and powerful things he said.
Thank you Mr. Thomas.

1. Was he the one who actually pointed back at the White House?

If it was him, he was great. He got us going. (My friends and I were at the side of the stage.). And the other person who got me going, made me tear up, was the drk-haired woman who lost her son in Iraq. Anyone know her name? I had heard her before, but I never caught her name.

2. Not sure about the woman. Etan Thomas is a basketball player
an African-American man he had some kind of a hat on.

3. Oh, yeah. He was great. The speeches got off to a slow start and then
really took off.

4. He was incredble...
his speech/poem was thought provoking and powerful. His style reminds me of a young Malcolm X.
