DON SURBER: Lefty protest vs. righty protest.

UPDATE: Reader Robert Bresca is reminded of Ayn Rand’s comparison of the crowd at Apollo launches and the crowd at Woodstock.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Richard Noiret writes:

A connection that kind of ties in to this. While living in NYC years ago, the mess left in Central Park after the “Earth Day” celebration would cost the city millions in clean up costs, the Park was left like a garbage dump. During this same period I would go to the Oshkosh Airshow with my father along with almost a million others, many of whom parked their personal airplanes and pitched tents alongside. One year we stayed for the final night performance and in the morning after most had left you couldn’t tell anyone had been there. There wasn’t any trace of litter in the large fields around the airstrip. This always struck me as a vivid example of the producers vs. the freeloaders in action.

Indeed.
