We had a much better turnout than I expected considering the weather and early hour -- the statehouse west lawn wasn't packed, but it was fairly full. Estimates are about 2,000 participants, but I think that might be a little (not a lot) low. Unfortunately, one of the local TV news channels is calling it 'hundreds' -- even the anti-science local paper gave us the 2K turnout -- so I've sent a polite note asking them to correct their online article.
After all, among the things we marched for yesterday was accuracy.

The anti-science local paper? What ... Watchtower? Christian Science Monitor is fairly good journalism ;-) Or do you live in a place where the only newspaper is from the Baptist Church?
One of my cousins informed me that this was all a waste of time. Apparently we already have all the science we need.

You're confusing me with Mothra. Easy mistake, we both have big pretty wings and six legs.
I hear the marches went well. I am glad for that, at least. Sorry, I was planting food.

Would it be better to plant seeds and grow food?
Reminds me of that old saying "Don't make the rookie mistake of selling your body! Rent it out instead."
