Protesting Upsets The Economy, and "The Man"

An article in the Salt Lake Tribune recently highlighted the findings of a group of researchers who examined the effects of protests on stock prices. Their conclusion? PROTESTS PISS PEOPLE OFF! Hmm, I wonder if anyone has done any research on how much money has been wasted on things that don't really need to be researched. Just ask anyone protesting... anyone... pick a side (it doesn't matter), liberals or conservatives, nut-cases or fanatics, take your pick. Ask them "So, whatchya doin' out here with that sign and bullhorn?" , and they'll answer... "bringin' down 'the man' " or a derivative of said phrase. However, I can't argue with what the research concludes... if you cover your eyes and ears, they all go away... it's simple, but it works. It works by magic. I do this on a regular basis.
