They are. A close relative of mine who hates Bush told me how she "sponsored" someone to take a trip to DC to go and protest the war. Of course I quipped how pathetic the movement is if it has to resort to sponsorships. :)
Perhaps we could start outsourcing our protests to Iran. We live in a world where paying proxies makes us feel better about ourselves without the inconvenience of actually committing ourselves to something. It's all about the off sets...
