Which is kind of my lasting impression of the last major protest (you know... the wall street thing) here in Calgary.
Sometimes these protest groups just want to flex their muscles and see what kind of headlines they can get. Nothing usually gets accomplished in the eyes of the general public, although I suspect the protest group probably sees it differently.
