I'd so love to have been there, with a mate, and these signs:

I almost forgot, I took a photograph with my phone on the way to the rally:


Make love, fuck war, peace will save us.

Politics aside, that crowd had the best signs ever.
I actually liked some of the ones in your pictures more than these ones:

Re: Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear
We left the house late and drove past every station starting at the Vienna line, the bridges were full of people and every train we saw was packed. We figured f it, we'll just drive up to DC and see what happens, this was at like 10:30AM. We ended up parking at the Arlington National Cemetery and taking a cab to 7th and Jefferson, which I think was a pretty much awesome choice. We had terrible views, couldn't see the stage but could see some of a jumbotron. I didn't expect a good view of the stage anyway and figure watching it later on TV or a stream would be better anyway. The people, signs etc were worth the trip, especially for somebody who's hardly identified with anything close to a political rally/rally in general. I didn't take any pictures because my wife had the camera and she was at the museums with our son, stroller + 250,000 people = not fun.

Was that a Myth Buster up on stage in one of those pictures? Great Signs.
Can someone explain to me what this was all about? What were they trying to accomplish?
