I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend. (J.R.R.Tolkien, The Two Towers)
When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force.

What do I think of all of this...
To protect/preserve the environment should be everyone's goal.
Does their protesting do this?, NO IT DOESN'T.
Is ANY kind of protesting effective in doing this?, NO IT ISN'T.
Are they doing more harm than good?, YES THEY ARE.
