I was cautious while attending this past Saturday's "Hands Off" rally. After having read about so many accounts of people ramming their cars into crowds, I gave wide berth to any approaching vehicles and privately hoped others would do the same. As it happened, no cars or trucks strayed from their appointed routes and, to my surprise, most passers-by seemed to approve of the demonstration, with only one totally-to-be-expected exception of a driver who nonetheless felt obliged to express his objection to the gathering with a universally recognizable gesture of his hand.
