Sure, protesting at times can be a good thing, but every time I've ever seen people protesting, it is the biggest joke ever.
What pushed me to the point of writing this tonight? On facebook, I saw a event called, "Don't Buy Gas May 15th!" It's a protest designed to cost gas companies millions of dollars. Ok, so gas companies make less money on May 15th. Whoopdeedoo. When everyone fills up on the 14th or the 16th instead, they'll make it all back. And apparently, it's considered a huge group of people on myspace who are participating. Wow, too bad most of the people on myspace aren't even old enough to drive.
And then there are war protesters. I see them at all sorts of places. Whether it's in front of a supermarket or some other random shopping place, I've seen them there before. Hm, only problem with this is, the people whose minds they need to change will never even know they protested. Good work! There are a couple people who protest the war in front of the local military base. Oops, I forgot to mention it's a COMMUNICATIONS base. Protesting at a military base that does nothing with the war does NOTHING!!! A group of college kids protested the war in Iraq on a part of their campus which is somewhat secluded. Ok, so not only is it people who have no effect on what goes on with the war, barely anyone is even seeing the protesting going on!
What happened to the days of real protests, where people protested in large masses, and actually made a difference?
