Was that massive casualty down there in florida. there were some young folks. there were some teenagers, some high school age and younger there. but the average age, this was squarely middle age, 49 years old was the average age of participants. this was a surprise to me. according to this study, 70% of the marchers there in d.c., women. and also very well educated. almost three out of four, at least a bachelors degree from college. so female, very educated. and how about this? this one surprise...
