Protest!Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

I used to think thisBut I have seen some protests - or rather, campaigns of protests - actually work. An example is the anti-apartheid movement in the 1980s - when the white government gave in and stepped down, they admitted afterwards that world opinion was a major factor in their decision. The recent release of Aung San Suu Kyi may be another example, thought it's probably too early to be sure.
So, while one protest march probably doesn't make a difference, an on-going campaign might - just might - do something positive.
