lodging a protest

I've lost my faith in protests. There seems to be something ineffectual about several dozen middle-class, white liberals holding placards (STOP THE WAR; IMPEACH BUSH) and chanting "Hey, hey. Ho, ho. The Bush Administration has got to go!" while walking up and down a street populated with other middle-class, white liberals who, while not disagreeing with the first group, are really more interested in their dinners of organic greens and Niman Ranch pork.

Maybe I'm just being cynical.
