A FEW QUESTIONS TO PROTESTERS

Why do you think inconveniencing people will sway them to your beliefs?
Why do you think scaring people will sway them to your beliefs?
Why do you think destroying personal property will sway people to your beliefs?

If you are passionate about something, be constructive about it, not destructive.  Learn everything you can about all sides of an issue and engage in thoughtful reason.

When our Constitution was formed, there were as many ideas about government as there were people in the room.  So during a long hot summer in 1787, these men from different backgrounds and ideologies created a new form of government where the people ruled rather than the elite.

Contrast this with breaking into buildings and burning things.  You are better than this.
