ie: that anti-olympics thing that is supposed to go on doing the relay today at UBC, if they are really going to attempt to stop the relay... they are just bringing more negative light to their efforts. If they stood by the side, had some banners up and just minded their manners, people would actually think about the issues they are trying to bring up.

just my 2 cents

I should start my own ANTI-ANTI Olympics group lol
I will play Devil's advocate for a minute and say that by being confrontational, they are the most effective in getting their message across. Disruption and chaos sells papers, airtime, etc. so the media will jump on any chance to film anything that appears to be disruptive.
