I don't agree with the "peace at any price" protesters.....but they have the right to protest as guaranteed by our Constitution......HOWEVER, when they cross the line into breaking the law....like tieing up traffic, defacing the property of others, etc.....that sort of behavior should be punished severely......

It is a sad day when our laws protect gutless traitors. It's a short plane ride. Most decent people, when they see a child stuck in a drainpipe, would do everything they could to save the child. You would think so. But I recall a story in Florida, where a teen was beaten and starved by his mother and step-father. They finally were too bothered by the boy, gave him a few bucks for bus fare and told him to go find his father [not knowing where his father lived]. The boy made it to his uncle's house where he was turned away. At the end, the boy knocked on the home of an elderly lady and she noted that he looked like a victim of the holocost. A virtual living skeleton. Sadly it was too late, the boy died. Forget about the step father and mother and uncle. The boy travelled by bus, walked the streets...no one cared until he came across this one elderly woman. How many people saw that boy? All in Florida. Have a nice day, jttmab
