silent demonstration. hmm... think about the effectiveness of these two words in theory and practicality.

I am insulted by these protests. I work for a military contractor. I want them to spend as much as possible on military hardware. Big military=overtime and double time for me.

@Htown20XX I think Ike had a few words that explains precisely why people outside of your line of work might not have the same sentiments as you. There are many insulted by conflict simply for conflict sake and to feed the military industrial complex, with members of the military simply being hired by the same contractors for big bucks after they leave service...same for the politicians...all in the name of war profit. It's the only thing of any quality we make any more, though! Killing.

I dig the chick lawyer's hat, and what she said was right, aside from that, never talk to the police, the police are not there to help you, they are there to arrest you, silence is your only weapon.

@brokkenstar the police don't care what your message is. The police are there to maintain order and ensure people are following the laws. It is very simple, it's not a big conspiracy against people who don't even know what their message is.

@nicolasraage That's all well and good, but telling people about their 4th and 5th amendment rights was all I was conveying.
