One of the largest peace demonstrations in the history of the San Francisco Bay Area took place Saturday, January 18, 2003. (350,000 according to Lisa Rein, who did a thorough on-line video account.) Here is a sample of the posters and slogans: "Put down the gun, George.", "The real drug is oil.", "Repeal the Patriot Act.", "No blood for oil.", "Everyone has family in Iraq.", "Justice creates peace.", "Judge human rights by one yardstick. Inspect the U.S. for weapons of mass destruction.", "In oil we trust.", "Go solar, not ballistic.", "Bush, history will condemn you.", "'I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice' -- Camus", "'There is no way to peace; peace is the way.' -- Gandhi".
