The Anti-War rally in Union Square, NYC April, 9th, 2011

I passed by in Union Square this past weekend coming from my job when I saw this huge crowd rallying for anti-war overseas. I took some pictures and videos. It made me think; A lot of people are not into politics or has no clue what our country's main concerns and problems. I don't blame them since I don't want to get involve either. I think most people are too busy with their own life agendas in their own communities which I think is the right thing to do, but at times like these where corruption is all over the place, nations coming down, Our own Government disregarding the Constitution, I think these are the times when we should all unite and get our country back to normal.
Like one of Thomas Jefferson's quote;
"Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." -Thomas Jefferson
I believe that as a citizen of our nation, it is our obligation to get involve in our current issues. I feel like even the crowd here rallying in Union Square don't have a strong grasp of politics, but they do know what's going on and how much of deep trouble we are on.
It made me realize, Is it really Humanitarian reasons why we are involved to so many wars overseas fighting Terrorism or is it Special interest of our government?
I Have so many thought in my mind, but I'm just going to keep it short for now.
