Maybe it has something to do with the Ides of March, or the full moon, or maybe it's just a new frontiers of evoking reaction, drawing a crowd, letting the voice be heard. Whatever the effect, they have their cause. And they have their reasons. And it's probably safe to say the Ides have nothing to do with it--I simply surmise. More realistically, the red shirts' rallying is happening right now because it happens to be an interim time after the harvest season and before the rice planting season starts during which time a large portion of the country are in a position to assemble in mass and pursue political agendas. That and in lieu of recent court decisions. I merely report--as I am not in a position to comment. I can only say that the situation, like many, is not simply black and white nor is it just a matter of bleeding for a rouse.
