I understand your perspective, Gerald. And a protest will only have a chance of succeeding if it's massive. LBJ was moved by the masses of people in the streets protesting the Vietnam War. But we need millions of people to come out to make it effective.

I'm guessing that in the not too distant future, we'll have to contend with martial law and then all protests will be illegal.

So it might be worth a shot while we still have the chance.

Yes Breizhfan, the bigger the demonstration is, the better it is. When I was young I was teargassed while in a huge protest in D.C [200,000 of us]. It was broadcast all over the world on TV. Today, right now, there are protests going on in hundreds of locals in this country. But the Mass Media are refusing to cover them. Instead they are talking about how Musk's rocket returned the stranded astronauts from the IS Space Station. The people who will be talking about the protests are those like Amy Goodman, Rachel Madow and Rick Wolff.
