Aspen Holds a Peace Rally
Aspen, Colorado held a successful peace rally this Saturday. Numbers in attendance vary, but the organizers, Roaring Forke Peace Coaltition ran out of 1,000 ski bibs, that said "Make snow, not war." A group from Telluride also attended and brought 200 more which also were distributed among the crowd.
The keynote speaker was the good Doctor Hunter S. Thompson, described in the article as "mostly coherent" at the time of his 5 pm address. He spoke about "the pitfalls of war and the evils of an unchecked government."
The protesters then joined together for a peace march down Main Street.
The Coalition meets every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Roaring Fork High School(Carbondale) in the Library. More events are planned.
