But I'm glad I was not disappointed. It gives me the feeling that I know what to expect on CP.
And this whole asking for condom things has worn very thin. How many people around the world have participated in the "occupy" protests? What percentage of them asked for free condoms?

The reason I asked about the civil disobedience thing is because someone stated that breaking the law took away from the movement. As if breaking the law automatically = evil. However, in my university days I blocked logging roads into virgin forest and participated in an illegal sit-in vs Indonesian official when Indonesia had invaded East Timor. I don't think what I did was evil. So when I see someone take the position that breaking the law somehow automatically sets a movement in a bad light, I challenge it.
If you want to say that smoking marijuana constantly, asking for condoms, etc sets the movement in a bad light, well, yeah.... but I don't think civil disobedience is always wrong.

Bolded parts indicate a very clear purpose and intent versus Occupy Olympic Plaza.
Having said that, you are also evil.
