Because I have lots of questions and I can't find the answers.
I can't understand why they are having March in March (on St Patricks Day)
Please can someone ask a question they don't know the answer to?
Solved! Go to Solution.

oh
well. here's my learned response.
someone thought it would be a clever play on words
"March in March" *rolls eyes*
That same clever soul does not have enough respect for his fellow man and decided to stage the "March" on a day that commemorated a significant event for the Christian Community.
March 17 is believed to be the date that St Patrick died, and St Patrick is a significant figure in Christianity,
All it shows is a lack of respect and not just for the intended target,

oh, OK. found it:
March in March is a proposed grass roots campaign organised by the Digital Liberty Coalition as a direct action against Internet censorship in Australia. The campaign began in November 2008 when a flash protest was called by numerous Internet users in Australia. A coalition of digital rights and civil rights activists came together to orchestrate a nation-wide rally. From there the DLC's grass roots campaign spread to the media.

a weekday will disrupt the workforce.
people will take sickies to attend.
it will also affect trade as people stop doing what they normally do on a monday and attend.
it is designed to be disruptive.

Who cares about St Patricks Day anyway?

It's on different days in different locations, from the 15th to 17th.
I found this and have no idea who wrote it as I am fairly sure they don't actually speak for 99% of us 😄
although maybe the points they raise would be agreed upon by 99%.
