What topics get you engaged enough to start protesting or taking some kind of action?

I have just seen this on BBC News; Anti-Renoir protesters picket Boston art gallery - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34465910

People are protesting that Renoir "sucked" at painting. I don't know about you, but that is pretty far down my list of things that are wrong in this world!

I protested against the Iraq war, for women's rights, against the Republican Convention in NY, and for Union rights.

I don't care enough about art to protest anything having to do with it

"I protested against the Iraq war

-Courtney"

I remember shimmying up a lamp post at Piccadilly Circus on that day in 2003. The largest crowd I ever saw in my life all saying NOT IN MY NAME.

And it made not the blindest bit of difference.

Part of my optimism about politics died then.

Along with a bunch of Iraqis, but hey.

Yeah, I felt the same at the Washington Monument in DC, but if I had to do it again I still would. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

First rule of protesting?

Never expect to change the people your protesting, however you might change the people who are watching from the sidelines

Well, obviously they should stop showing the Renoir exhibit at the Boston Art Gallery

Have a nice sit down with this Renoir chap, maybe we can find out where he is going wrong, maybe give him some tips? Maybe he could go to art classes?
