General question sorta... but do protests really accomplish anything? People are always protesting this and protesting that, but really, what does it accomplish? "Awareness"? But what is a blurb on the news really going to do to change the world?

People protest the local army recruiting centers around here all the time. But they end up breaking a window or blocking traffic and wind up arrested. I have yet to see a tangible or even attitudinal change result from their actions.

Involve Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who will show up at any event where TV cameras will be... doesn't do much for credibility.
