I remember a scene in the movie green card. Where andie Mcdowell was showing Gerard De pardu pictures of a protest she was in during college. "What were you protesting ? he asked.....
Andie" Oh I don't remember.
That was very impactful to me. This is about their own self indulgence. A way of showing their secular piety. Nothing more. They need a way to display "their faith" that is done by doing these sort of protests so they can brag that they protested something in the world.
Notice they don't do this in a country where it is a crime against the state? Let's say North Korea, Where were they when saddam was in power? Or were the feminists out in afganistan when the taliban were in power protesting their regime? Yeah Brave souls this lot. You have guys dying for their rights to do this but will they risk any real threat? Hell know they have a lesbian french literature paper due on wednesday.

But they're the best friends the Bush campaign could possibly have. One look at these freaks and Mom and Pop in the battleground states rush out to vote for Bush in droves. And to think the jerks are doing it all at their own trouble and expense, or at least at the expense of Mummy's Visa. Remarkable!
