So you're assuming that anyone with a beef is already out protesting? There are no "armchair" protesters who support the cause? And to make a real difference, they have to plant two feet in a protesting hot spot? You can create just as much of a voice online as you can in the streets. I don't think you are appreciating that part of it either.
It's like a Flames game. There's 20,000 people actually at the Dome, but far more than that who support the Flames watching on TV and cheering them on on message boards, the Internet and other channels. Or we can use the Obama or Nenshi examples -there were only so many people in the streets voicing support, but their true support came from those who supported their campaigns online and through the media.
BTW marathoners don't have a political purpose and are serving a completely different purpose than protesters. Your examples are perplexing.
