    Cindy Sheehan was not arrested for protesting. She was arrested for breaking the law. She and the few protesters with her sat in front of the white house. This has not been allowed for a long time due to security concerns. According to the what has been reported, she and her supporters did this on purpose in order to get arrested as a publicity stunt to generate sympathy for their cause.

    Not the same as getting arrested for simply protesting.

    At least the Jehovah's Witnesses (who can't even spell their God's name correctly) have the decency not to vote.

    "But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
    "On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

    This is company that hasn't produced a competitive product in years. And now that everybody see's that there may not be much merit to their IP claims on linux, their license collections will die off too. Their only hope is for a Microsoft to keep funding them to wage this proxy war against linux. Just wait until their are no more good proxies for Microsoft to fund, that's when we'll likely see them jump in the ring flush with a new patent portfolio to swing around.
