    The exception excon not  the norm. What about the Dakota pipeline protest? What about the Black Lives Matter protest? What about all the protest marches for every young black unarmed man /boy who was killed by a cop who said he feared for his life? What about all the protests against guns after the various massacres that we have endured? What about the occupy wall street protest? Rosa Parks and Selma is not the norm. I wish it were but it isn't. Do you think all the protests going on around the country  that are ANTI-PET will do anything to ameliorate the situation? You know dam* well they won't.  We can protest from here to kingdom come and back again and nothing will change. Nothing. Remember Rodney Kin beating  protests decades ago and his words "why can't we all get along?"  Well we can't and won't and refuse to try. Protesting does nothing. It is shameful but it  is true.  SIGH. Thank you for your reply excon! :)
