For a demonstration to be massive, you need only one person. That is 
because it takes a massive amount of courage to stand up for what is 
right in the face of the herd/mob/conformist mentality of smug, 
self-styled intellectuals who write 16th century sentences, such as, 
"Pray, define!"

Well, the last one was estimated by SF Police (not organisers) at 
100,000 to 150,000 and with the growing shift in public feeling about 
potential war, I would guess rather more than that this.

How big does it have to be before it's classed as "massive"...?
