I don't wish to become part of this battle, but I would like to say two things:

1) About respect due to the President, etc: each Secret Service agent carries a "card" that informs others that his/her job is to protect the President (or whomever). It does not say Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton or whomever. The reason is that one should always respect the Office, whether or not you agree or disagree with the person holding that Office. It's one of the first things you learn when working at the White House.

I don't give a rat's behind how you feel about a given President. Respect the Office.

2) If one's going to protest, please don't do so while wearing your Greek Letters, for heaven's sake! I've seen two men being arrested while wearing their letters; I'm sure their National Offices are less than thrilled with that publicity.

Why? Because a few years from now, when they are looking for work, they will not be the noble GLO who protested for a noble cause. An arrest is an arrest is an arrest - and unless expunged, will follow them the rest of their lives.
