Taking it to the streets

I've often felt that Americans don't go to the streets in protest enough. In fact, I was a bit surprised by all the protests the immigration legislation has sparked. Until I realized that most of the protestors are minorities, who are more closely related to the issue than the average American. Being new and/or marginalized in this culture makes protesting more likely in my mind. The rest of us are just too comfortable and apathetic to issues that don't directly affect us (and even some that do).

So, God bless America and the protestors. Let's take it to the streets more often, since we've got much bigger problems that this immigration issue.
