In the 60's and 70's, before email, before chatrooms, pre-IM's, before AIM, SKYPE, user groups, bulletin boards, twitter and blogs -- in those decades of yore, we had a war. And it is universally believed that we shortened the war by public protest. Millions of Americans showed up in every venue, from the gazebo-decorated town squares of small town America to the big city streets, all the way to Washington.

We met, planned, bonded -- all face to face. And then we showed up, millions strong. News media had more than surveys to report American discontent. They had live video of people of all ages and races marching, carrying signs. (Not to mention the fact that we had daily news footage of graphic war video -- not like the sanitized stuff we are fed today.)
