    A comment on Conversation: why protests don't work in the long run

    Aug 23 2011: Griffin Tucker, I see that you have some valid points but your statement that "Do not protest but work THROUGH the system" does not apply to all occasions. Active protests, like Satyagraga by M K Gandhi in India achieved independence for India. A case in point is India Against Corruption protests which are going on now. They are able to bring about change.
    Protest need not be in the form of walking the street. Arab spring happened because one man had enough of suffering in life, took his own life in Tunisia..
