ORIGINAL: respectmen Just a quickly as I'm on my phone and about to start my shift. Can anyone answer and cite what exact accomplishments this march has achieved? Martin Luther King Jr. marched and "illegally" rode buses and such because he was demanding that people be treated as people. What did he do though? Well, in this country, "the little guy" can't really do much, if they can't vote. Since one of the things Dr. King and his supporters were marching for was for the federal government to enforce voting laws, marching and other peaceful protests were really about the only options open to them. Now, that leads us to (what I think is) the real issue, here: voting. You're right, when you say that a lot of these marchers are doing nothing. I saw a correspondent on Saturday night that was in the crowds of protestors. He said that he asked each and every person he ran into if they had voted and he said: "literally every other person I asked said: 'No' and I was like: Then, what are you complaining about?" Like their "anointed one" that used to lead them (thank God that's over!), a good portion of these people were feckless slugs until "someone else" didn't do for them what they could have easily done for themselves. Then, let's add in the element of violence. Very rarely does one see "right wing-based" protests that turn into looting and other violence. It's almost as if there's a portion of these "protestors" has the mind set of: "Things suck. I'm gonna steal some free shit" As far as I'm concerned, as soon as there's an act of violence committed at one of these "protests", the whole lot of 'em should be locked up. Michael
