I personally get excited at any signs of life in America&#8217;s normally apathetic citizenry, but have been confused and maybe a bit turned off by the festival atmosphere and the initial incoherence of the movement and its participants. We expect sound bytes: where&#8217;s the political [...]]]></description>

I sidled over to an empty seat where I could see the &#8220;Peace&#8221; banners waving in the wind outside.
