Protests in general are pretty pointless.
They're just wastes of time for (mostly) unemployed people. It must be nice to not have to show up to work/class/whatever right in the middle of the week. Perhaps these peoples' time could best be spent filling out employment applications or doing community service?
We have a peace rally here in OKC at a certain location every evening at 5PM -- the big one is on Fridays. We don't get the colorful types Rudey describes. Mostly a bunch of 60's left-behinds trying to relive their youths. I have a feeling that they see this more as a social event and an opportunity to show off their mad bongo skillz than anything reasonably calculated to accomplish a political objective.
That's just my take though.
I'm glad we agree on this.
