Re: LIVE from Ottawa - Net Neutrality Rally on Parliament Hill said by chrish:Looks like about 40 people?

With that being said, this is a monumental failure, unfortunately. |

Toronto, ON | the rally only just started and you're calling it a failure? Do you have a vested interest in seeing that occur maybe? |

| said by blinki:the rally only just started and you're calling it a failure? Do you have a vested interest in seeing that occur maybe? Not at all. I'm only comparing the number of people there versus what Rocky has defined as a success.
However, in the end, the real definition of success will be when the Government defines policies or laws for Net Neutrality, no matter how many protests occur.
Until then, the movement will remain a failure. |

You can't call an event or act a failure unless it exists in the past. Stop (incorrectly) describing this as such. |

The rally is not a failure, there is news crews there, the things being mentioned will be reported, there are things being mentioned there that haven't had the exposure it deserves!
All it takes is a little bit of audience exposure and ears/eyes watching/listening...
this is only a start, and there is plenty more to come... |

| You should see how many people show up for 420....
Though it doesn't hurt to try. |

I would peg it at around 250-300. |

Whose bright idea was it to hold it in Ottawa? It may as well have been held at the North Pole since more people have heard of the North Pole. |
