"::::I hear you on the propagation of the Monsanto/suicide tie.  However, the quote that P provides above seems reasonable - they were careful enough to attribute the 2M number to the organizers, which is better than some others that repeated it without attribution. It doesn't bring anything new to the table with respect to the number question for the May march, however.  And I noticed too that they shied away from giving any total number for the October march, and with respect to numbers saying with respectable (if somewhat ambiguous) carefulness: ""Photos appear to show hundreds of marchers taking to the streets in cities around the world including Vienna, London, Chennai and Sydney. Rallies have kicked off in U.S. cities as well including Los Angeles and Denver.""
