129. I've been to protests, and they don't do shit.
Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 01:24 PM by originalpckelly
Very few people seem to take protesters seriously anymore. Those in power in this country have managed to write-off protesting in the minds of people.

Woohoo, we'll go beat a drum and shout and hope that will change the world. I think rational debate and actually moving the public discourse forward is more valuable than merely symbolic demonstrations.
