More of a difference than a bunch of people blogging about it...

Even though I agree with protesting and using your right to peaceful protests to it's fullest extent, they do jack ----. In this moden day, if you do ANYTHING that is deemed unpeaceful, you'll be shackled up faster than you can defend yourself. Which in turn will bite you in the --- and still result in getting shackled and put in a cell. Eitherway, blogging, getting people to talk about it is more progressive (In some ways.)

Face it, being in the street with signs isn't going to make anything change in small numbers. The only way things will change is if American citizens as a whole (Inc. other countries worldwide) want it to change. By that I mean uniting. If there are hundreds of millions all over America that are protesting then the legal system can't restrict people, they can't arrest that many people. It only works in smaller numbers.

I don't mean cause riots like loads of idiots did in London, but stand up and be counted.

in small numbers.
I don't think there will be small numbers

How many are estimated to go? Anything under 50k is small in terms of how many live in America.

Regardless of what I think about all this, peaceful protesting gets you nowhere.

It was really difficult, but when I lived in Lafayette, Louisiana I managed to convince the pseudo-hippy across the hall that it was true. Before, he was stubbornly set on the position that protests and picket signs was the way to change things.

If you can amass the numbers of the civil liberties protests back from Martin Luther King Jr then you can do something. Otherwise you may reach your local government, but that is quite a strong maybe.

A peaceful protest against a government that feels threatened by it's people....... yeaaaahhh.....no, aint gonna work. Millions upon millions marched peacefully all over the world in protest again Bush taking America into Iraq..... government did what it wanted, and went into Iraq anyway. They dont listen because they dont care what you have to say..
