Useless Protests
Today, many people protested against the Iraq war with the stated goal of ending the American occupation of Iraq. But it already will end, on June 30. The occupation is scheduled to die in three months, and there is no indication whatever that it will get a reprieve of any kind. This has to be the most useless large protest, ever. "End the occupation!" "Um, OK." 
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
