Re: Oh, I see...
"You were serious... and I misread your first post as an attempt at irony. Sorry 'bout that."
I don't know if I can say that I was serious. Let me put it this, the protesters *want* people to take them seriously; that they are wise, honorable, good, brave, and in general wonderful people and at same time they maintain that the world is terrible place and that it's this way because we aren't listening to them.
