I'm wearing purple today, as well. Unfortunately, like you, I haven't seen anyone else in my area doing so. It's kind of a shame. I know that sometimes the internet can make it seem like more people are doing something than there really are, but I still hoped to see some.
I agree that it's better to do something like this than to not. I don't really understand the argument that it's not worth doing because it doesn't accomplish anything tangible, or because some people will do it but then not do anything more substantial. I don't think efforts like this [i]detract[/i] from other efforts. I think they can be valuable for increasing visible support.
