[thechat] The PETA-ization of Protest

[rudy]

on the subject of civil disobedience...

  "Being black and asking to be served at a lunch counter in 1960s 
   Alabama takes guts of steel; being a overprivledged yuppie spawn 
   parking your ass in the box at 50th street and 5th Avenue to snarl 
   traffic is merely irritating to others. It's the PETA-ization of 
   protest; the vain hope that if you piss people off enough, they'll 
   finally come around to your point of view."
