Paul Hsieh's excellent op-ed, Ayn Rand and the Tea Party Protest, directly answered my misgivings about the protest I attended last week. Unless a protest or demonstration is organized around a clear, positive principle such as individual rights, I think the gathering of bodies is a waste of time, no matter how much media attention it garners.
Fortunately, some protests around the country did seem to have more focus that then one here in DC. I love that the Denver protest opened with a reading from Atlas Shrugged.
Next time, I'll be more prepared.
