Self-sacrifice to achieve human rights for others. Doesn't get much better than that.

So, is that what it means to be a liberal? Or part of what it means? Does it matter in the equation that the protesters want action from a private employer of which they are clients? Does it matter that clients have other ways of putting pressure on those who provide goods and services? Does your invocation of Kennedy imply that you think the government should be taking action, as well? Does your statement imply that the failure of an employer to provide any employee, no matter how replaceable and no matter the value of his contribution, sufficient pay to support a wife and three children is a human rights violation? Would that be a litmus test for a liberal?

Hey, don't blame me. You wanted to talk about what it means to be a liberal.
