Robert,

First I do not have your signs.

Second, I would like to know if you were around during the Vietnam war or if
you've only read about it, and if you were, what your experience was during
that period.

The same conglomerates still own the mass media. Today we have computers,
cell phones and our own video cameras. Those we did not have back then.
Today there is a new kind of information and the ability to spread it. Also,
the selective service was indeed implemented. Cheaper surge, but a
difference.

Also, we had the same bastards who planted their ops in crowds and spit.
They were disguised as peaceniks (and before that time, this culture was
called "beatniks") What troublesome creatures they all were, smoking dope,
hanging out, respecting nature and eating veggies.

I know of no one like that today, do you?

Now as for your point, what I see on mainstream is coverage but with a
definitive spin, rhetoric and plain old lies. Probably not too much
different from the past. But your point is taken, and may be one of many
reasons, not the only one, and so take back the disrespectful b.s. comment
please.

Peace.

b.s.  The reason that the current anti-war is non-existent in the eyes of
the public is because the mass - media owned by the conglomerates (GE,
Westinghouse, Disney, Murdock  etc) will NOT cover our events like they did
in the 60-70's.

I don't know about the Vietnam war, but is it possible that the media then
reported more than it is now? We do have larger than life figures, Cindy
Sheehan, Ann Wright, to mention just 2. Anne

Without draft as target, Iraq anti-war protests lack intensity of Vietnam
era 

By David Crary

NEW YORK  America's current anti-war movement is resourceful and persistent,
but often seems to lack the vibrancy of its counterpart in the Vietnam era
when protesters burned draft cards, occupied buildings and even tried to
levitate the Pentagon. 

The biggest difference, say activists and historians, is the lack of a
draft.
