I find it extremely disconcerting that you would refer to the police as pigs for simply and effectively enforcing the law. If your in the street they can arrest you for disrupting traffic. You were in the street. And TADA you got arrested. And you were thrown in jail with the rest of the criminals that were breaking the law.

You may think your protest was enpowering and "world changing" but the truth is it wasn't. Most people who are opposing the war are looking towards the next election where there vote will count. The protests -- both big and small-- have been ineffective in changing one iota of how this war has been run. This protest movement would be much more effective if you were actually doing something to help the world rather than waving your signs and your banners! For instance:

1. Gathering and providing school supplies for Iraq's children. The smarter those kids are the better off they will be and the more effective they will be in running their country.

2. Providing food and supplies to needy countries. Poverty is the main cause of upheaval in the developing world. If the people have adequate supplies and are living a better life it will prevent dictators and other despots from gaining power.

3. Protesting and encouraging the boycott of the next olympics in china -- a country were there are numerous human rights abuses.

4. Designing new ways for people to car pool and mass transit initiatives so that we can be less dependant on foreign oil.

Just imagine if you spent five years working on one of these rather than holding your idiotic sign!!!
