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?

Which also kind of illustrates one of my other points...We, in this country, do not suffer enough for anyone to fight and/or die for change.
What I mean is, if this was America in the 1950s and you were black (you may already be black, I don't know. I'm not black so lets pretend I am...), and you'd spent the best part of your life being called a nigger, being forced to attend black only schools, being forced to sit at the back of the bus, never getting decent jobs and basically living as a third class citizen, and there was a civil rights protest, would you really give a shit about where to park your car, or getting a day off work?
My point is, I'm sure you do care but maybe you just don't care enough.
Incidentally, I've never been on a protest march either, for exactly the reasons you described.
