Sorry if that came across as a personal attack, Editz. It wasn't meant to be.
The protestors I encountered last year weren't protesting a cause, they were having a carnival and using the "cause" as an excuse.
They laid siege to a government building in Wellington, preventing staff entering or leaving, and when the management decided to send the staff home, they were jeered at and cheered by the "protestors".
Many of the protestors appeared to be students. At least most of the leaders were. You know, those same people living off the backs of the tax payers?
As I said, I support the cause, not the tactics.
And pissing off and alienating people seems counter productive.
Extra kudos for the Princess Bride reference.
