If only because it brings the cause to the forefront of people's minds, peaceful protests are fine and even useful to a point. I think we all need to do more also. It's a matter of maintaining focus on the important issues. It's also important to not run and hide in the usual bunkers. People become defensive when talking about issues like this, because they feel their ideals and own beliefs are being somehow threatened or challenged. If only people would open their minds and remain objective when discussing things that could potentially affect not only all of us, but our children and grandchildren, we'd be more productive as a society. But every attempt at talking about this is met with political backlash and the usual nonsense.
