1. What a change from 2003
when I was spat upon and a fundy right winger had her child shout that Bush was the Second Coming of Christ!

2. Wow - I was just talking with a friend who protested locally during the Vietnam War
and who has protested during this war. He said that in the Vietnam era, long after the public had soured on the war they still hated protesters. His opinion is that there are far fewer people now who are angry at dissenters -- this is supported by the results of the AOL poll so far.

This shift is subtle but a meaningful, I think...
