So Merc, if these protests won't change anything, does that mean everyone should stay home, keep quiet, suffer in silence and be a good little minion?

You do realize that millions are suffering, don't you? The voiceless, the overlooked, and the powerless...

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

Haile Selassie
Criminal actions by corporations, politicians and wall street need to be brought to light. If nothing else, these protests are helping to do that. What are you afraid will happen? Why does this disturb you and so many others?

And seriously, we all have the right to speak up about any damn thing we want to...or at least, that's what I grew up believing.
