Now that it's been 10 days since the anniversary of 9/11, I think it's safe to dicsuss what people saw at the march and whether they thought it was truly restricted. Personally, I don't see what's wrong with registering with the DoD in order to have privileges on the usage of public facilities. It only provides a database that would dehabilitate those worried about being caught as a criminal or terrorist, and the database could be easily reproduced with data compiled through Birth Records, Social Security, the IRS, and the Postal Service. All registering through the DoD does is facilitate their job and make it easier to recognize who is marching in the event of an emergency.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that. It just makes the name "Freedom March" sound stupid. I wouldn't have had a problem at all if it was called 9/11 or Twin Towers Commemerative March.

Freedom march? You have to register with the same folks who send troops to Iraq just to attend a march to preserve your "freedom"? Not much different from rallies held by Communist China except you don't have to sing and dance.

Actually, they all got handed out identical uniforms (t-shirts), and got to sing and dance at the concert at the end of it.

All they needed to do was put up the "this way to Red Square" sign and the image would have been complete.....

if it wasn't so scary+blatantly undemocratic i'd call it ridiculous.

Kind of crazy isn't it? Doing this and calling it a Freedom Walk. What next? Tips on fire safety by first setting a building alight and showing how to use said tips?
