Amusing article by Joel Mowbray on his encounters with the protesters can be found here. Here's my favorite part:

Typically clueless was Bryan Martin, 25, a New Yorker carrying a “No Draft, No Way” placard. Following is a verbatim transcript of this columnists’ conversation with Mr. Martin:

Q: “What are you protesting?”
A: “I'm protesting a war we shouldn't be fighting.”
Q: “Are you protesting the Democrats with that sign?”
A: “No, the Republicans.”
Q: “Are you aware that the Democrats are the only ones proposing a reinstatement of the draft?”
A: “Wasn’t that tongue-in-cheek?”
Q: “No.”
A: “Oh. Well, they just gave me the sign at 14th Street (the demonstration's starting point). I don’t really know what it means.”

This excerpt, along with the discovery of a protester for the environment who had very large breast implants (the author notes the irony of such non-biodegradable material), makes for great reading.
