Other than making the participants feel empowered and have some fun, what impact does a small one or two person protest make?
Are there more effective ways to get the media's attention, because I am saving up to protest but this is a one shot deal, if I can spend my money in a better way, I will.
IS it even worth it to protest? I don't have a need to 'get back at programs' because I am angry, I just want to inform parents who are the ones who don't want to hurt their kid. The parents who want to hurt their kid through ignorance or hate, well, you can't really help them.
I was thinking. There has got to be a better way to spend my time and money, both of which I have very little of, to get some people's attention, other than standing in a snow packed gutter somewhere with a sign that no one will see , maybe than a few staff taking the road into program.
It also makes me really question how passionately I am "against programs", since I just don't really care that much anymore about people I don't know which I guess happens as you get older.
